A stator for a motor of a compressor includes a stator core, an insulator fitted on an axial end face of the stator core, and coils wound around the stator core and the insulator. The insulator has an annular portion, a plurality of circumferentially arranged tooth portions projecting radially inwardly from an inner peripheral surface of the annular portion, and a cylindrical-shaped wall section erected on an axial end face of the annular portion. The coils include crossover wires routed on an outer peripheral surface of the wall section of the insulator so as to extend obliquely relative to a plane orthogonal to an axis of the stator, as viewed in a direction orthogonal to the axis.
