Mounting structure of a power converter

摘要

A power converter (101) which can attain a reliable electric connection with electrodes of a power module (102) by facilitating positioning of conductors connected to the electrodes of the power module. The power converter includes the power module (102) having the plurality of electrodes in the form of plate-shaped conductors within a casing (201,202) having a lid (202), and also includes a plurality of plate-shaped conductors (105T, 106T, 107u, 107v, 107w) connected to the electrodes of the power module. Male screws (210) are embedded in ones of the electrodes of the power module provided at least on the side of the lid to be projected therefrom, the plate-shaped conductors (107u, 107v, 107w) connected to the electrodes having the male screws are formed therein with holes at locations corresponding to the male screws, the male screws being inserted in the corresponding holes, and electrically connected with the electrodes with nuts (602) fastened to the male screws.
