Abstract
A rectifier unit of a vehicle AC generator is comprised of a plurality of metal cases, a plurality of pairs of first and second semiconductor chips and a plurality of pairs of first and second lead wires. The first lead wires are respectively connected to the first semiconductor chips, and the second lead wires are connected to the second semiconductor chips. Each pair of first and second semiconductor chips is disposed in one of the metal cases. The first lead wires are connected to each other to form a first rectifying circuit and second lead wires are connected to form a second rectifying circuit. Therefore, the number of parts for connecting the rectifier circuits can be reduced without providing complicated insulator arrangement.
