Abstract: Provided are a positive electrode terminal and a negative electrode terminal being terminals of a capacitor element; a positive electrode conductor plate connected to the positive electrode terminal; a negative electrode conductor plate connected to the negative electrode terminal; and a power conversion module connected to the two conductor plates. The positive electrode terminal and the negative electrode terminal are formed along an arrangement direction of the capacitor element. The positive electrode conductor plate and the negative electrode conductor plate form a laminated conductor portion in which the positive electrode conductor plate and the negative electrode conductor plate have respective main surfaces disposed, to face the main surface of the capacitor element, and are laminated to each other.

Abstract: No consideration is given to heat transferred from a semiconductor module to a capacitor via a bus bar module. The heat generated by a semiconductor module (1) is transferred to a bus bar module (3) via a DC terminal (1A) of the semiconductor module (1). As illustrated in FIG. 4(B), the heat transferred to the bus bar module 3 is then transferred to the pressing member 5 via the annular conductor 8 and the bolt 5A. Since the pressing member 5 is in close contact with the second cooler 2B, the heat transferred to the pressing member 5 is cooled by the second cooler 2B. On the other hand, the heat transferred to the convex portion 6A of the housing 6 is transferred to the first cooler 2A via the housing 6 and cooled. As a result, in the configuration in which a capacitor (4) is connected to the semiconductor module (1) via the bus bar module (3), the heat transferred from the semiconductor module (1) to the capacitor (4) can be suppressed.
