Abstract
A motor terminal portion structure is provided which can satisfactorily drain the water in an insulating member surrounding the outer circumference of a terminal and prevent water from entering the insulating member, in addition to allowing the insulating member to be commoditized without being influenced by motor layout. A motor terminal portion structure includes an insulator that is formed in a cylindrical shape surrounding the outer circumference of a terminal and is secured to a bracket. A drain hole is provided to establish communication between the inside and outside of the insulator. A flange portion shields an opening of the drain hole on the outside of the insulator. A plurality of the drain holes are disposed around the terminal. The outer side surface of the insulator and the inside surface of the flange portion are each formed in regular polygon so as to conform to each other. A portion of the flange portion facing vertically downward in an on-board state is formed as a notch.
