Abstract: A power converter includes a stack of a plurality of semiconductor modules, each of which incorporates semiconductor elements, and a plurality of cooling conduits, though each of which a coolant flows to cool the semiconductor modules, at least one electronic component electrically connected to the semiconductor modules, and a cooling plate for cooling the at least one electronic component. The stack, the at least one electronic component, and the cooling plate are arranged in a stacking direction of the stack. The cooling plate is connected to the cooling conduits and has an intra-plate pathway formed therein thorough which the coolant flows in a direction perpendicular to the stacking direction. The cooling plate has a larger area than each cooling conduit when viewed from the stacking direction.
