Claim:
1. A stator for a rotating electric machine, the stator comprising: an annular stator core having a plurality of slots formed therein, the slots being spaced from one another in a circumferential direction of the stator core; a stator coil comprised of a plurality of windings mounted on the stator core, the stator coil having a coil end part that protrudes from an axial end face of the stator core; and a plurality of lead wires each of which is made up of a corresponding one of end portions of the windings of the stator coil, the plurality of lead wires including, at least, a first lead wire and a second lead wire, the first lead wire adjoining the coil end part of the stator coil and having both (1) a circumferentially-extending part that extends in a circumferential direction of the stator core and (2) a radially-extending part that extends in a radial direction of the stator core, the second lead wire having a circumferentially-extending part that extends in the circumferential direction of the stator core and adjoins and intersects the radially-extending part of the first lead wire, the radially-extending part of the first lead wire being sandwiched between and in abutment with both the circumferentially-extending part of the second lead wire and the coil end part of the stator coil, the radially-extending part of the first lead wire abutting the coil end part of the stator coil over an entire radial length of the radially-extending part.
