Stator with exterior members over molded coils

A stator possessed by an electric motor, the stator comprising:

• an iron core;
• a coil disposed in the iron core so as to include coil ends respectively on both of end sides of the iron core in an axial direction of the electric motor;
• first exterior members provided so as to surround sides of outer circumferential portions of the coil ends respectively on both of the end sides;
• second exterior members connected to the first exterior members and provided so as to surround sides of end portions of the coil ends in the axial direction respectively on both of the end sides;
• and
• mold members configured to cover the coil ends, and which are placed in contact with the first exterior members and the second exterior members respectively on both of the end sides;
• wherein a hole configured to penetrate through the second exterior member is formed in the second exterior member on one end side of both of the end sides;
• and
• a surface that faces the mold member, of the second exterior member on the one end side, is inclined in a manner so that a thickness of the second exterior member on the one end side becomes continuously thinner toward the hole, wherein the mold member on the one end side has a portion that extends into the hole.
