In a thermoelectric device, metal fiber nets as conductive members having elasticity are placed between first electrodes and thermoelectric elements, in order to increase productivity and make it possible to reduce variations in performance without impairing the reliability of a slidable structure even if each component is heated to be thermally deformed. This placement prevents the temperature of the metal fiber nets from becoming high in the operation of the thermoelectric device and prevents the elasticity of the metal fiber nets from being lost. Further, this constitution eliminates the necessity for bonding the first electrodes to the thermoelectric elements using solder. Moreover, the elasticity of the metal fiber nets makes it possible to accommodate variations in height among the respective thermoelectric elements when the thermoelectric device is assembled.
