PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a high-performance thermoelectric module which has superior shock resistance. SOLUTION: The thermoelectric module has base substrates 1a and 1b, a plurality of thermoelectric elements 2 which are arrayed on the base substrates 1a and 1b, a wire conductor 3 which electrically connects the plurality of thermoelectric elements 2 to one another, and an external connection terminal 4 which is provided on the base substrates 1a and 1b and electrically connected to the wire conductor 3. Reinforced elements whose differences in mean coefficient of thermal expansion from the thermoelectric elements 2 are≤20% and which are≥10% larger than the mean hardness of the thermoelectric elements 2 are substituted for some of the plurality of thermoelectric elements 2.
