Solenoid operated fluid control valve

A solenoid fluid control valve (10), comprising a solenoid coil (20), an armature (22) movable in response to electrical current applied to the solenoid coil, a valve member (14) for controlling fluid flow to a fluid passage (12p), an actuator pin (31) disposed between the armature and the valve member for moving the valve member in response to armature movement, and a damping member (25) associated with the armature proximate an end (22b) thereof so as to move therewith and received in a fluid containing damping chamber (27) formed by a tubular actuator pin support body (23) disposed in a housing (12) of said fluid control valve wherein the actuator pin support body includes a first tubular sleeve section (23a) disposed about the damping member for forming the damping chamber and a second tubular sleeve section (23b) disposed about the actuator pin for forming a bearing sleeve to receive a first end region (31a) of the actuator pin.
