ABSTRACT:
An electric compressor having a compression mechanism, an electric motor for driving the compression mechanism, and a housing for containing the compression mechanism and the electric motor. An opening formed in the housing is closed with a lid member to which a sealed terminal is attached, and an electroconductive pin of the sealed terminal is fitted into a socket connected to a lead wire of the electric motor. The socket is embedded in an insulative member, and the electroconductive pin of the sealed terminal is inserted into a hole formed in the insulative member and is fitted into the socket. An insulation section that surrounds the base portion of the electroconductive pin and the insulative member hold a ring member that is formed from an insulative elastic material and surrounds the electroconductive pin, and this portion held is sealed and insulated by elastic deformation of the ring member. Injection and curing of resin for insulation, which have been carried out for a conventional structure, are not necessary, so that the electric compressor has high assembling efficiency and whose sealed terminal can be reused.
