Abstract

A charging generator having a rectifier within a casing and an output terminal which is connected to the rectifier and projects radially with respect to a rotary shaft comprises: a terminal screw having a threaded shaft portion which constitutes the output terminal, a mounting arm portion formed integral with the threaded shaft portion, and a mounting bore provided in the mounting arm portion, the central axis of the mounting bore extending parallel with the axis of the threaded shaft portion; an output terminal base made of an insulating resin material which covers the mounting arm portion in such a manner that the mounting bore is not closed therewith, the base being formed integral with the terminal screw; an opening formed in the casing at a position which faces the rectifier so as to accommodate the output terminal base; and a screw inserted through the mounting bore in the terminal screw to connect the terminal screw, together with the output terminal base, to the rectifier. Accordingly, it is possible to assemble, disassemble and reassemble the output terminal lead-out section after the generator body has been assembled and it is also possible to ensure high rigidity, provide firm and reliable electrical connections and reduce the overall size and production cost.
