  • the connector receiving portion 42 is tubular and has a rectangular cross-section. However, the connector receiving portion 42 may have a circular cross-section. In this case, the cluster block 45 is preferably formed to have a circular cross-section.
  • the connector receiving portion 42 may be simultaneously formed when the inverter housing member 14 is formed.
  • the second extended portion 42 b of the connector receiving portion 42 is arranged to extend in the axial direction of the rotary shaft 23 .
  • the invention is not limited to this, and the second extended portion 42 b of the connector receiving portion 42 may be arranged to extend in the radial direction of the rotary shaft 23 . That is, the direction in which the connector receiving portion extends may be changed as necessary in accordance with the position and size of a space in the vehicle allotted for the motor-driven compressor.
  • the wiring connection portions 50 may be entirely accommodated in the cluster block 45 to ensure insulation between the wiring connection portions 50 and the connector receiving portion 42 .
  • the two wiring connection portions 50 are provided side by side. However, for example, three wiring connection portions 50 may be arranged side by side. That is, the number of the wiring connection portions 50 , which are arranged side by side, is not particularly limited.
  • the compression portion 18 , the electric motor 19 , and the motor drive circuit 30 are accommodated in the housing 11 to be arranged in that order in the axial direction of the rotary shaft 23 .
  • the present invention is not limited to this.
  • the electric motor 19 , the compression portion 18 , and the motor drive circuit 30 may be accommodated in the housing 11 to be arranged in that order in the axial direction of the rotary shaft 23 .
  • the compression portion 18 is not limited to a type that is configured by the fixed scroll 20 and the orbiting scroll 21 , but may be a piston type or a vane type.
  • the present invention may be applied to other types of air conditioners.
  • the present invention is applied to the motor-driven compressor 10 , which is mounted on a hybrid automobile and used in a vehicle air conditioner.
  • the present invention may be applied to a motor-driven compressor that is used in a vehicle air conditioner mounted on an automobile driven only by gasoline or on an electric car.
