Stator with divided cores connected circumferentially

A stator core is configured by assembling divided cores in an annular shape. Each core includes a yoke part extending in a circumferential direction, and having opposite first and second facing sections. The first facing section includes an inner circumferential protrusion, an outer circumferential protrusion, and a central recess. The second facing section includes an inner circumferential notch, an outer circumferential notch, and a central protrusion. When the cores are assembled, the inner circumferential protrusion faces the inner circumferential notch, the outer circumferential protrusion faces the outer circumferential notch, and the central recess faces the central protrusion, and the outer circumferential protrusion is formed so as to have a width larger in a direction orthogonal to a circumference direction than that of the inner circumferential protrusion.
