Abstract

In an alternating current generator for vehicles, an output terminal of a rectifier circuit is tightly fixed to a positive-polarity side heat radiation fin by tightening a nut. A resin bushing is fitted around the nut to insulate electrically the output terminal. The bushing has a flange on its outer peripheral surface. A rear cover made of resin is attached to cover the flange, so that the rear cover restrains the bushing from moving along and turning around the output terminal.
