Abstract
An electric compressor includes a housing and a cover. The housing accommodates a compression portion and an electric motor. The cover is attached to an outer surface of the housing and cooperates with the outer surface of the housing to define an accommodation space. An inverter is accommodated in the accommodation space and configured to drive the electric motor. The inverter includes a circuit board, an electrolytic capacitor, and a capacitor cover at least partly covering the electrolytic capacitor. The electrolytic capacitor includes a cylindrical main body having a first end and a second end, a lead extending from the first end of the main body and connected to the circuit board, and a pressure relief vent on the second end of the main body. The capacitor cover is interposed between the circuit board and a peripheral edge of the second end of the electrolytic capacitor.
