Abstract: An object is to suppress a lift of an external terminal when an external force is applied, thereby improving the reliability of a semiconductor device. A heat radiating plate 10 having on one main surface a circuit area 54 in which a semiconductor element 50 is arranged, a pair of terminals 31 and 32 connected to the semiconductor element 50, a resin housing 20 that covers the circuit area 54 of the heat radiating plate 10 to seal the semiconductor element 50, and has a terminal surface 22 formed on an upper surface, a pair of side surfaces in the longitudinal direction, and a pair of front and rear surfaces in the lateral direction, are included. The resin housing 20 has a pair of bending contact portions 22e and 23e that come into respectively contact with the pair of terminals 31 and 32 to define bending positions of the terminals 31 and 32. The pair of bending contact portions 22e and 23e are formed to have different heights.

Abstract: A semiconductor module includes a case accommodating a semiconductor element inside and being entirely molded by a resin, a first terminal placed on a top portion of the case and being a terminal to which a bus bar being a flat and elongated metal conductor is to be attached, a second terminal provided on the top portion of the case and being adjacent to the first terminal, and a rib provided between the first terminal and the second terminal. The rib includes a protrusion protruding toward the bus bar.
