a cabinet that constitutes an outer casing; a terminal portion that is disposed in the cabinet and to which power supply wiring is connected; a metallic standing portion that is provided in a standing manner so as to constitute a peripheral surface of the cabinet and at which a window portion is open so as to face the terminal portion; and a lid that is a resin molded article and with which the window portion is opened/closed, wherein an outer peripheral rib is provided that protrudes on a periphery of a back surface of the lid and comes in contact with the standing portion, and a protruding portion is provided that protrudes from the back surface of the lid along an inner peripheral side with respect to the outer peripheral rib so that a groove is formed between the protruding portion and the outer peripheral rib and comes in contact with the standing portion.
2 . The outdoor unit for an air conditioner according to claim 1 , wherein
the outer peripheral rib and the protruding portion are each formed on both side portions of the lid, a concave portion is provided that is formed in a U-shape in cross section by being recessed from a front surface of the lid while protruding into the window portion and has an upper wall that extends horizontally along an upper end of the window portion and is inclined downward to a front side, and a blocking rib is provided that protrudes into the window portion so as to be continuous with a side end of the concave portion and extends vertically along a side edge of the window portion.
3 . The outdoor unit for an air conditioner according to claim 2 , wherein
the upper wall of the concave portion protrudes to the front side from the front surface of the lid and has a hole.
