A pressure control valve is provided in a fuel return pipe connected between a high pressure fuel pipe and a fuel pressurizing chamber of a high pressure pump. A pressure relief valve is opened when fuel pressure in a fuel delivery pipe is higher than a first pressure. A first valve body of the pressure relief valve is brought into contact with a stopper so that a movement of the first valve body is limited. A pressure holding valve, which is provided in an inside of the first valve body, is opened when the fuel pressure in the fuel delivery pipe is larger than a second pressure. When the pressure relief valve is opened and the first valve body crashes into the stopper, a lifting amount of a second valve body of the pressure holding valve is increased by inertia of the second valve body, so that extraneous material attached to the second valve body can be removed.

In order to inhibit spring and valve instability due to the introduced pressure when pressure in a pressurization chamber is introduced into a spring accommodating space in which a spring, which energizes the valve in the closing direction and which is provided between a valve stopper and a valve, is inserted, the present invention is configured such that: a pressure equalization hole connecting a peripheral fluid passage and the spring accommodating space provided between the valve and the valve stopper is provided to the valve stopper located between the valve and the pressurization chamber; and the spring-accommodating-space-side opening of the pressure equalization hole opens to a position further inside than the diameter of the spring. As a result, pressure from the pressurization chamber can be introduced to the inside of the spring without traversing the spring, thereby resolving spring and valve instability due to the introduced pressure. Moreover, the force applied to the valve when closing the valve is stabilized, which makes it possible to stabilize valve closing timing.

It is important not to form the partial bump in the collision structural part, however the fixed core and the movable core are relatively inclined due to an accumulation of tolerances and therefore even if each collision structural part of the fixed core and the movable core in formed in a flat shape, the fixed core and the movable core are contacted with not the whole of the collision structural parts but a part of the collision structural parts at the moment of the collision. In a case in which the collision structural part is formed in a ring shape or an intermittent ring shape, the fixed core and the movable core are contacted with each other at outer peripheral parts. Thus, when the fixed core and the movable core are collided with each other, a high stress is applied to the outer peripheral parts contacted first. Accordingly, the shape of the outer peripheral parts of the collision structural parts is important, however since such a part, which is a tiny protruding shape, requires high processing accuracy, to reduce stress occurred during collision while keeping productivity is difficult. In the present invention, an R-shaped part and a flat part are provided in order from an outer peripheral side of a collision structural part. Further, the R-shaped part and the flat part are connected in a tangent manner.
