A stator core of an electric motor includes a core body, a slot, and an insulating member. The insulating member is integrated with the core body and has a linear expansion coefficient different from the core body. The insulating member includes, at a peripheral wall portion, a plurality of contact portions extending throughout a cylinder axial direction of the stator core and being in contact with the peripheral wall portion, and a noncontact portion positioned between adjacent ones of the contact portions. The noncontact portion extends throughout the cylinder axial direction and is not in contact with the peripheral wall portion. The peripheral wall portion has an inner peripheral wall portion forming a peripheral wall of the slot, and an outer peripheral wall portion forming an outer peripheral wall of the core body. The insulating member is located at at least one of the inner and outer peripheral wall portions.
