Abstract
An AC generator for a vehicle includes a rotor, a stator having a three-phase stator winding, a three-phase full-wave rectifier unit, an insulation cover, and a frame for rotatably supporting the rotor. The rectifier unit includes a cooling fin structure having at least three positive diodes and three negative diodes fixed thereto and a terminal member having a wiring member connecting the positive and negative diodes to form the three-phase full-wave rectifier unit and three first partition members. The wiring member has first connecting portions connected to the positive and negative diodes and second connecting portions connected to three output leads of the stator winding. Each of the first partition members extend toward the insulation cover between one of the first connecting portions and the cooling fin structure.
