摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To contribute to the popularization of thermoelectric conversion systems by providing a thermoelectric conversion module that achieves high reliability and performance. SOLUTION: The thermoelectric conversion module is characterized in that electrical connection between thermoelectric elements 3 and 4 is established through metal caps 2. Each metal cap 2 may be integrally formed with an electrode 1. At least one face of the electrode 1 may be coated with an insulating material, and the cap may be integrated into a face, which is not coated with the insulating material, of the electrode 1.
