Abstract:
A vehicle-onboard AC generator, comprising:a stator comprised of a stator core and a stator winding assembly including a plurality of stator windings; a rotor disposed in by said stator core; a rectifier device for rectifying an AC power from said stator winding assembly; and a discrete intermediate connecting member distinct from said rectifier device and a circuit board of said AC generator, wherein said intermediate connecting member is disposed on said stator at a position offset laterally from the center axis of the stator. wherein in said stator, a plurality of outgoing conductors forming output conductor end portions and connecting conductor end portions, respectively, are brought out substantially in parallel with a center axis of said stator core, wherein said connecting conductor end portions are connected to said intermediate connecting member, said stator windings being interconnected in a predetermined connection pattern through said intermediate connecting member, and wherein said output conductor end portions for out putting said AC power are connected to said rectifier device.
