Abstract
In a vehicular alternator, a stator is arranged to oppose a rotor in a housing. The stator includes a stator core, which forms a plurality of slots extending in an axial direction of the stator core, and a stator winding wound around the stator core. The stator winding includes electric conductors held in the slots. Each of the electric conductors has a circumferential width that is smaller than a circumferential distance between a first wall and a second wall defining the slot. The first wall and the second wall oppose each other in a circumferential direction. The electric conductors are alternately in contact with one of the first wall and the second wall.
