What is claimed is: 1. A high pressure valve for hydrogen gas, the high pressure valve comprising: a solenoid; a main valve seat and a pilot valve seat; a main valve body, which is switchable between a closed state, where the main valve body contacts the main valve seat, and an open state, where th

What is claimed is: 1. A high pressure valve for hydrogen gas, the high pressure valve comprising: a solenoid; a main valve seat and a pilot valve seat; a main valve body, which is switchable between a closed state, where the main valve body contacts the main valve seat, and an open state, where the main valve body is separated from the main valve seat; a pilot valve body, which is switchable between a closed state, where the pilot valve body contacts the pilot valve seat, and an open state, where the pilot valve body is separated from the pilot valve seat, and wherein the pilot valve body is switched between the open state and the closed state in accordance with excitation and de-excitation of the solenoid, and the main valve body switches from the closed state to the open state when the pilot valve body is switched from the closed state to the open state, and a plunger, which moves in an operational direction in accordance with excitation and de-excitation of the solenoid, wherein the plunger is coupled to the pilot valve body and the main valve body, the main valve body includes a pilot bore and the pilot valve seat, the pilot valve seat includes a pilot valve hole, which is connected to the pilot bore, wherein the pilot valve body includes a distal end having an outer diameter, and wherein the outer diameter of the pilot valve body decreases toward the distal end, and the pilot valve hole of the pilot valve seat includes an inner diameter that corresponds with the outer diameter of the distal end of the pilot valve body, wherein the pilot valve body and the main valve body are supported with respect to the plunger to have play in the operational direction of the plunger, both when moving the plunger to switch the pilot valve body and the main valve body to the open state and when moving the plunger to switch the pilot valve body and the main valve body to the closed state, wherein the pilot valve body is arranged and constructed such that at all times when the pilot valve body contacts the pilot valve seat, the pilot valve hole and the pilot bore are closed, further comprising a support pin mounted to the plunger without play, and extending at least partly through a wall of said main valve body, transverse to the operational direction of the plunger, wherein each of the pilot valve body and the main valve body is supported by the support pin to have play in the operational direction of the plunger. 2. A pressure reducing valve connected to a tank containing hydrogen gas via the high pressure valve according to claim 1, the pressure reducing valve being used to reduce the pressure in the tank, the pressure reducing valve comprising: a valve body and a diaphragm, wherein the valve body and the diaphragm define a pressure reducing chamber, the pressure reducing chamber including a valve hole provided with a valve seat; and a valve member located to selectively contact the valve seat, wherein the valve member is connected to the diaphragm, and the diaphragm is displaced in accordance with the pressure in the pressure reducing chamber, and the valve member selectively opens and closes the valve hole in accordance with the displacement of the diaphragm. 3. The pressure reducing valve according to claim 2, further comprising: an accommodating member, which includes the valve hole and accommodates the valve member therein, wherein a sealless portion is set between the accommodating member and the valve member. 4. The pressure reducing valve according to claim 1, wherein the play of the main valve body with respect to the plunger is greater than the play of the pilot valve body with respect to the plunger.
