A vehicle AC generator includes a rotor, a stator having a stator core and a stator winding, a pair of front and rear frames and electric components including a rectifier unit and other electrical parts disposed rear of the rear frame. The stator winding is connected to the rectifier unit by one of means of welding, soldering and clamping, and the rear frame has a stay having a fixing surface disposed rear of the electric components. Therefore, it is not necessary to provide a space for screwing a screw bolt to connect the stator winding and the rectifier unit. Because cooling air is discharged from a discharge window along the stay, heated air will not return to any of air intake window.
