An electrically actuated valve includes firstly a fixed core ( 1 ) accommodating, at least, one coil ( 2 ) in, at least, one housing and forming therewith, at least, one electromagnet of the electrically actuated valve. Further, this valve includes a body ( 4 ) forming with the fixed core ( 1 ) the sealingly tight carrier structure of the electrically actuated valve. Thirdly, this valve includes, at least, one movable core ( 3 ) placed between the fixed core ( 1 ) and the body ( 4 ). This electrically actuated valve is specially innovative in that the fixed core ( 1 ) is made as an unitary part from an injected ferromagnetic material and in that it combines several functions, in particular that of the pneumatic connection and/or of the electrical connection of the coil/coils ( 2 ). The decrease in the number of parts and the simplification of the design allow, accordingly, an additional miniaturization.
