    Abstract: A vibration-proof structure for an electric circuit for use in an inverter-integrated electric compressor can reduce cost and weight of the compressor and can have excellent productivity. The vibration-proof structure for the electric circuit of the electric compressor for use in a vehicle air conditioner, the compressor integrally including a motor for driving a compression mechanism and an electric circuit which controls drive of the motor, the structure being characterized in that an assembly 26, which is obtained by mounting at least one electric component requiring a vibration-resistant reinforcement (a coil and a capacitor constituting a noise filter, and a smoothing capacitor) on a dedicated circuit board 24 and by embedding the electric component with resin 25, is assembled in a housing of the compressor. Thus, resin consumption can be greatly reduced, cost and weight of the compressor can be reduced, and productivity can be improved.
