Abstract

The present disclosure relates to an electronic expansion valve. A positive terminal of a coil assembly is electrically connected to an adapter board, and is electrically connected to a positive pin through the adapter board. Moreover, a negative terminal of the coil assembly is electrically connected to the adapter board, and is electrically connected to a negative pin through the adapter board. Therefore, when the positions of the positive terminal and the negative terminal of the coil assembly change, the connection positions of the positive terminal and the negative terminal on the adapter board can change accordingly, and still maintain electrical connection with the positive pin and the negative pin, so that the connection positions of the positive pin and the negative pin on the circuit board do not need to change. As a result, the electronic expansion valve has the advantage of high compatibility and can be compatible with coil assemblies of different structures.

The first flow path is adjacent to the second side wall, and the second side wall configured to separate the first flow path and the second flow path from each other is a heat exchange wall.
