ABSTRACT:
An encapsulated solenoid assembly including an electronic actuator and an elongate metallic armor tube for receiving an electrical conductor therethrough which is electrically connected to the electronic actuator. The electronic actuator and an end portion of the armor tube are encapsulated within an outer casing of encapsulation material to integrally couple the armor tube with the electronic actuator without the use of additional connection components or complex attachment arrangements. In one embodiment, the armor tube is corrugated to facilitate bending and to aid in maintaining engagement with the encapsulation material. In another embodiment, the electronic actuator includes a magnetic plunger that is displaceable along an actuation axis, with the armor tube extending along a longitudinal axis laterally offset from the actuation axis. In a further embodiment, the electrical conductor extends alongside a substantial length of the electronic actuator so as to become embedded within the outer shell of encapsulation material.
