Abstract: The present disclosure provides a thermoelectric conversion module that enables continued use of a thermoelectric generation system even when a part of a plurality of the thermoelectric conversion modules fails by being exposed to a higher temperature. The thermoelectric conversion module according to the present disclosure includes a substrate, a plurality of thermoelectric conversion element pairs electrically connected in series on the substrate, a pair of external terminals that carries out one of inputting and outputting of electric power, and a low melting point conductor. The low melting point conductor has a melting point that is substantially equal to a heat-resistant temperature of a p-type thermoelectric conversion element or an n-type thermoelectric conversion element. One of the pair of external terminals has a first connecting part connecting with the p-type thermoelectric conversion element positioned at one end of the plurality of thermoelectric conversion element pairs, whereas the other of the pair of external terminals has a second connecting part connecting with the n-type thermoelectric conversion element positioned at the other end of the plurality of thermoelectric conversion element pairs. The first and second connecting parts and the low melting point conductor are positioned in an inner region of the substrate. At least a part of the low melting point conductor is positioned between the pair of external terminals and is electrically insulated from at least one of the pair of external terminals.
