Abstract
A rotating electrical machine for a vehicle includes a rectifier fixed to a fixing portion of a casing. The rectifier includes a heat sink to which a rectifier element is mounted, and a circuit board configured to electrically connect a stator lead routed out of a stator to the rectifier element. The heat sink includes an element mounting portion, and an axial fin protruding radially outward from the element mounting portion. A supporting portion configured to support the axial fin along an axial direction is formed on one of the casing and the axial fin. The supporting portion is arranged at a position away from the fixing portion so as to be adjacent to the stator lead guide when the rectifier is viewed along the axial direction.
