THERMOELECTRIC CONVERSION MODULE

摘要

Provided is a thermoelectric conversion element which enables improvement in yield and durability, is easy to secure a temperature difference between the both ends and is easy to be bonded to an electrode without tilting, resulting in improvement of mass productivity. Also provided is a thermoelectric conversion module using the thermoelectric conversion element. [Solution] A thermoelectric conversion element 2 includes: a plurality of pole-shaped parts 22 with one ends of which being electrically connected to a first electrode 32, and the pole-shaped-parts 22 being arranged at an interval from each other; and a joining / connecting part 21 joining / connecting the other ends of the pole-shaped parts 22 together, and electrically connected to a second electrode 31. A connecting face 21b of the joining / connecting part 21, the face being connected to the second electrode 31, is larger than the sum total of areas of one ends 22a of the pole-shaped parts 22.
