A stator for a rotary electric machine, including a plurality of stator
cores arranged in a circumferentially spaced relation about a central
axis of the stator, and a molded resin filled between the adjacent stator
cores. Each of the stator cores includes a meshing portion which is
meshed with the molded resin and formed on circumferentially opposed side
surfaces of the stator core. The stator core includes a plurality of
stator segments laminated along a direction of the central axis so as to
form the meshing portion.
