A hydraulic control unit for a transmission includes a lower side housing, an upper side housing and an intermediate plate. The lower side housing and the upper side housing form a hydraulic supply channel section, which is connected in the intermediate plate by an aperture. At the inlet of the aperture, at least one recess with a predetermined depth is provided for bounding an inlet cross-section.

Structure of control valve body of automatic transmission has valve body enclosures having channels on opposing surfaces thereof; a separate plate sandwiched between the valve body enclosures for defining oil passages on both sides of the separate plate; and an orifice provided at the separate plate. The oil passages on both sides of the separate plate, which are upstream and downstream side oil passages located on upstream and downstream sides of the separate plate, communicate with each other through the orifice. Depth h, in a part facing to the orifice, of the channel corresponding to the downstream side oil passage is set to be shallower than depth of the channel corresponding to the upstream side oil passage, and the depth h of the channel in the part facing to the orifice and a diameter d of the orifice are set so as to satisfy relationship of h3d.

A valve mounting system includes an upper plate including an upper inlet, an upper outlet, and an upper exhaust. A lower plate includes a lower inlet, a lower outlet, and a lower exhaust that are aligned with the upper inlet, the upper outlet, and the upper exhaust, respectively to define an inlet, an outlet and an exhaust, respectively. A spoon moves about an axis to control a flow of fluid through an opening. The opening is one of the inlet, the outlet and the exhaust.

The disclosure relates to a hydraulic control unit of plate-form design, having a control plate arrangement which includes at least two control plates between which an intermediate element is arranged, which has apertures and bears with a first sealing face against a first control plate and with a second sealing face against a second control plate (4). In order to improve the hydraulic control functionally and/or in terms of production, an electrical conductor device is incorporated into the intermediate element
