Abstract
An alternator for a vehicle includes a stator (2), and an armature coil (21) wound on the stator (2). A rectifier unit (5) includes a terminal base (55). A connection terminal (51E, 51F) electrically connected with the armature coil (21) extends into the terminal base (55). The connection terminal (51E, 51F) has an L-shaped cross-section. The connection terminal (51E, 51F) includes an exposed portion (511E, 511F) projecting from the terminal base (55). The exposed portion (511E, 511F) has an end electrically connected with the armature coil (21).
