PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a thermoelectric conversion device which can prevent damages to a thermoelectric element and can improve the productivity. SOLUTION: The thermoelectric conversion device comprises a group of thermoelectric elements 10 which is made by stacking an n-type thermoelectric element 13, a heat absorbing electrode member 20, a p-type thermoelectric element 12, and a heat dissipation electrode member 30 in order as one set and stacking a plurality of sets electrically in series. The thermoelectric conversion device is equipped with a holding member 11 for holding the group of thermoelectric elements 10. The thermoelectric elements 12 and 13 and the heat absorbing and heat dissipation electrode members 20 and 30 are formed with through-holes 12a, 13a, 20a, and 30a, respectively, which pass through the holding member 11. With the holding member 11 so arranged as to pass through the thermoelectric elements 12 and 13 and the heat absorbing and heat dissipation electrode members 20 and 30, the plurality of sets are stacked. Due to this structure, damages to the thermoelectric elements can be prevented and at the same time the productivity can be improved. COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT
