Abstract:
An electric power converter performing power conversion includes a plurality of semiconductor modules with built-in semiconductor elements, a plurality of cooling tubes stacked together with the plurality of semiconductor modules, and a pressure member made of metal. The pressure member has a pressing surface for pressing an outer cooling tube in order to press-contact the plurality of cooling tubes and the plurality of semiconductor modules in a stacking direction, and a heat receiving surface that receives heat generated from a capacitor that is an electronic component which is different from the plurality of semiconductor modules, by thermal conduction.
