  • Power converter
    Patent number: 9455238
    Abstract: A power converter includes a bus bar, a semiconductor device, a lead, and solder. The bus bar has a vertical wall. The semiconductor device includes an electrode. The lead has one end connected to the bus bar and another end connected to the semiconductor device to supply power from the bus bar to the electrode of the semiconductor device via the lead. The one end of the lead includes a bending part which is spaced away from the bus bar by a predetermined distance and which is inclined in a vertical downward direction. The vertical wall of the bus bar and the bending part are bonded to each other via the solder. The vertical wall extends in a substantially vertical direction to face the bending part.
    Type: Grant
