A compressor includes: a plurality of terminals; a terminal cover protecting the plurality of terminals; a temperature sensor configured to detect a temperature of a shell; and a cover having a flat portion disposed around the plurality of terminals, and a sensor protection portion covering the temperature sensor, the sensor protection portion being integrally formed with the flat portion to extend from the flat portion. The terminal cover is attached to cover the flat portion of the cover in a state in which the temperature sensor disposed on the shell is covered by the sensor protection portion of the cover. Thus, it is possible to prevent a lead wire of the temperature sensor from being accidentally cut when the terminal cover is attached.

Compressor

An outdoor unit of an air-conditioning apparatus enabling a soundproof material to correctly cover a compressor and having enhanced assembling efficiency and a method for assembling the outdoor unit of an air-conditioning apparatus are provided. The outdoor unit of an air-conditioning apparatus includes the compressor installed inside a casing and the soundproof material covering at least the compressor. The soundproof material includes a lower soundproof material surrounding a lateral periphery of a lower portion of the compressor and an upper soundproof material surrounding a lateral periphery of an upper portion of the compressor.

An outdoor unit of an air-conditioning apparatus has a structure that enables a terminal block to be added on a front side that a worker can easily contact, without greatly changing the location of an existing terminal block and the basic shape of a mounting portion. In a casing of the outdoor unit, a heat exchanger, an outdoor fan, a compressor, and an electrical component are provided. The outdoor unit includes: terminal blocks to be connected to the electrical component; and a terminal-block mounting portion facing from the inside of the casing toward the outside thereof. The terminal blocks are arranged in the height direction of the terminal-block mounting portion, and include first and second terminal blocks on a lower side and an upper side, respectively. The second terminal block is mounted on a terminal-block seat on the terminal-block mounting portion. The above seat includes a mounting portion on which the second terminal block is mounted, and a fixed portion contacting the terminal-block mounting portion. The fixed portion is smaller than the mounting portion, and the mounting portion protrudes from the fixed portion toward the first terminal block.
