Claim Text:
1. A motor connecting member, which connects a motor winding wound around an annular stator core and a terminal block, comprising: a terminal to be connected to the terminal block; a winding connecting portion to be connected to the motor winding; and an extended portion extending between the terminal and the winding connecting portion, wherein the extended portion is made by plastically deforming a single wire having a circular cross section, and is curved in a circular arc shape in at least one portion between the terminal and the winding connecting portion, wherein the extended portion integrally includes a curved portion curved in an arc shape, a first straight portion extending linearly on a terminal-side of the curved portion, and a second straight portion extending linearly on a winding connecting portion-side of the curved portion, the second straight portion and the first straight portion being arranged transversely with respect to a radial direction of the stator core, wherein the curved portion comprises a narrower conductor width in a radial direction than a diameter of the single wire before the plastic deformation, wherein the curved portion comprises a narrower conductor width when viewed in an axial direction of the stator core than a diameter of the first straight portion and a diameter of the second straight portion.
