Inverter-Integrated Electric Compressor

Abstract

Provided is an inverter-integrated electric compressor whose inverter section is molded using a urethane resin and which is excellent in joining reliability of electrically connected section. An inverter-integrated electric compressor, wherein the compressor incorporates a motor and wherein a motor drive circuit including the inverter is provided in a containing space surrounded by a compressor housing. A crimping section of a terminal of a conducting wire connected to the inverter is molded, together with the inverter, in a resin charged into the containing space. A gap at the crimping section, the gap being open to the outside, is previously covered and sealed by a gap sealant.
