Motor-driven compressor
Connectors are each integrated with a holder in a state in which bus bars are projected. A first projection and a second projection of the holder are respectively inserted in a first insertion hole and a second insertion hole in a circuit substrate. This determines positions of the holder and the circuit substrate relative to each other. The holder has coil lead wire insertion holes, capacitor lead wire insertion holes, and element lead wire insertion holes. These insertion holes extend in the same direction as the direction in which the bus bars project from the holder.
