Patent ID: 8231365

Claim:
An electric compressor having a built-in electric motor for driving said compressor and in which a connection section between an external terminal for power supply to said electric motor and an end of a wire from a stator of said electric motor is stored in a compressor housing, characterized in that said connection section is formed from a housing side coupler engaged with said compressor housing, a power supply-external terminal side coupler engaged directly with said housing side coupler at an inner surface of said housing side coupler, and a stator side coupler for holding the end of said wire from said stator, fitted to said power supply-external terminal side coupler, and engaged directly with said housing side coupler at said inner surface of said housing side coupler, wherein a vibration resistant means for mechanically preventing at least one of wire breakage, momentary electrical interruption and breakage of an insulation member ascribed to vibration is provided at a position of said connection section and/or around said connection section, and wherein said vibration resistant means has an elastic member that is configured to press said power supply-external terminal side coupler toward the inside of said compressor.
