Abstract

To provide a solenoid that reduces manufacturing costs and improves the waterproofness of the bobbin and mold resin. [Solution] The solenoid 1 of the present invention comprises a bobbin 20 having a cylindrical portion 201 and a large-diameter portion 202 extending radially outward from the axial end of the cylindrical portion 201; a coil 21 wound around the cylindrical portion 201 of the bobbin 20; and a molded resin casing that covers the bobbin 20 and the coil 21 with molded resin and forms a joint portion 25 between them and the large-diameter portion 202. The molded resin casing includes an end covering portion 31 that covers the axial end of the large-diameter portion 202 of the bobbin 20 with molded resin along the radial direction. A portion of the end covering portion 31 is provided with an axially thickened portion 33 that is thicker in the axial direction than other portions of the end covering portion 31.
