A motor-driven compressor includes a housing having a compression portion
for compressing refrigerant, a motor for driving the compression portion,
and a drive circuit for controlling the motor. A connection member having
a plate shape is disposed at one end of the motor. The connection member
connects a plurality of coils of the motor to the drive circuit. In such
motor-driven compressors, because the rolling and bundling of electrical
wires extending from coils to connect the drive circuit are not
necessary, the size of the motor-driven compressor may be reduced.
