An electric compressor having a built-in electric motor for driving the compressor and in which a connection section between an external terminal for power supply to the electric motor and the end of a wire from a stator of the electric motor is stored in a compressor housing. The electric compressor is characterized in that the connection section is constructed from a housing side coupler engaged with the compressor housing, a power supply-external terminal side coupler engaged with the housing side coupler, and a stator side coupler for holding the end of the wire from the stator, fitted to the power supply-external terminal side coupler, and engaged with the housing side coupler. In this electric compressor, vibration resistance of a terminal connection section for the motor is improved and breakage and momentary electrical interruption at the terminal connection section can be prevented, with productivity of the compressor maintained at a good level.
