Electric compressor

An electric compressor comprising:

• a housing formed in a tubular shape extending along an axis;
• a compressor that is disposed inside the housing and rotates around the axis to compress a refrigerant including a lubricant;
• and
• a motor that rotationally drives the compressor around the axis,
• wherein the motor includes
• a stator that is fixed inside the housing and has a plurality of teeth around which coils are wound,
• a rotor disposed on an inner peripheral side of the stator,
• a plurality of coil portions formed by winding the coils around the plurality of teeth,
• a plurality of electrical leads connected to the plurality of coil portions, and
• a protective member formed of a resin material that is disposed to surround an entire circumference of an electrical lead of the plurality of electrical leads and protects the electrical lead from moisture contained in the lubricant,
• the electrical lead is covered with a covering portion made of a resin and is disposed along a circumferential direction around the axis, and
• the protective member is a tubular member disposed only in a protection area in a portion of the circumferential direction including an area where the electrical lead is immersed in the lubricant stored in an internal space of the housing.
