Patent attributes
A power conversion apparatus includes a semiconductor module, an electronic component, a cooling member, a casing and a pressurizing member. The electronic component includes a load application part that receives a load caused by pressurizing force on a surface in a pressurizing member side with respect to the lamination direction; a load supporting part that comes into contact with a contact part of the casing on a surface opposite to the pressurizing member side with respect to the lamination direction; and a fastening part fastened to a casing fastening part. The load supporting part is disposed between the load application part and the fastening part; moment of force around the load supporting part is produced in the electronic component by the load applied to the load application part; and the moment causes the electronic component to be pressed towards a pressed part of the casing.
