    摘要: A thermoelectric conversion module in which a plurality of P-type thermoelectric conversion elements and N-type thermoelectric conversion elements, which are combined in pairs, are connected in series between a pair of opposing wiring substrates via the wiring substrates: electrode parts to which the thermoelectric conversion elements are connected, are formed on surfaces of ceramic substrates of the wiring substrates: among the thermoelectric conversion elements, the thermoelectric conversion element having a larger thermal expansion coefficient has the length, in a direction in which the wiring substrates face each other, that is smaller than the length, in a direction in which the wiring substrates face each other, of the thermoelectric conversion element having a smaller thermal expansion coefficient: an electrically conductive spacer is interposed between at least one of the two ends of the thermoelectric conversion element having a larger thermal expansion coefficient and the ceramic substrate of the wiring substrate.

    摘要: A thermoelectric conversion module includes thermoelectric conversion elements, and a first insulating circuit board provided with a first insulating layer and a first electrode part formed on one surface of the first insulating layer is disposed on one end side of the thermoelectric conversion elements. The first electrode part includes a first aluminum layer made of aluminum or an aluminum alloy, and a first sintered silver layer which is formed on a surface of the first aluminum layer on a side opposite to the first insulating layer and is formed of a sintered body of silver. The first aluminum layer has a thickness in a range of 50 μm or more and 2000 μm or less. The first sintered silver layer has a thickness of 5 μm or more and a porosity of less than 10% at least in a region where the thermoelectric conversion element is disposed.
