Abstract
An electric compressor has improved ability to connect an end of a stator winding with fastening terminals so that electrical connection can be established between the stator winding and the sealed terminal. The electric compressor includes lug terminal strips connected electrically to ends of lead wires from the stator winding each covered with an insulating tube, and fastening terminals connected through the lug terminal strips to the sealed terminal for supplying power to the electric elements. The lug terminal strips are manufactured by press molding and each includes a pair of conductor pressing portions, a cylindrical portion formed on one side of the conductor pressing portions, and a pair of insulating film fixing portions formed on the other side of the conductor pressing portions so that the fastening terminal can be connected to the cylindrical portion by pressing the conductor pressing portions onto the stator winding and fixing the insulating film fixing portions to the insulating tube by pressure welding.
