Is formed. Thus, the spool 10 changes the state of communication between the input port 6 and the output chamber 17 communicating with the hydraulic pressure source S and the state of communication between the output chamber 17 and the release port 7 by the thrust of the linear solenoid 11 applied to one axial end. The switching is performed according to a change in the axial position due to the magnitude relationship with the hydraulic pressure of the output chamber 17 acting on the other axial end.

A cylinder hole 12 is formed in the housing 5, and a spool 10 is slidably fitted in the cylinder hole 12. The linear solenoid 11 is located on one side of the housing 5 (the left side in FIG. 1).
