In a stator of the present invention, oblique-side portions of a pair of terminal wires to be welded to each other extend so as to approach each other and are located at different positions in a radial direction of a stator core, and straight portions of the pair of the terminal wires to be welded to each other are parallel to each other when viewed in the radial direction, and one of the straight portions is inclined in a direction toward another one of the straight portions through a boundary portion between the one straight portion and the oblique-side portion corresponding to the one straight portion as a bent portion in the radial direction so that a distal end portion of the one straight portion and a distal end portion of the another one of the straight portions overlap with each other when viewed in the circumferential direction.
