A stacking-type header includes a first plate having a first through-hole; a second plate having a plurality of second through-holes; a third plate in which a flow path that communicates between the first through-hole and the second through-holes is formed, a first pipe including a first end portion that is inserted into the first through-hole; a plurality of second pipes each including a second end portion that is inserted into a corresponding one of the second through-holes; and brazing portions. The first pipe includes a first expanded portion in the first end portion, the first expanded portion having an outer peripheral surface that is pressed against an inner peripheral surface of the first through-hole. Each of the second pipes includes a second expanded portion having an outer peripheral surface that is pressed against an inner peripheral surface of a corresponding one of the second through-holes.

A heat exchanger includes a fin having a plate shape and including a first region where a plurality of cutout portions are formed with intervals in a longitudinal direction that is a gravity direction, and a second region where the plurality of cutout portions are not formed in the longitudinal direction, and flat tubes attached to the plurality of cutout portions and intersecting the fin. Protruding portions protruding from a planar portion of the fin are formed on the fin, and the protruding portions each have a shape in which a first end is located in the first region and a second end is located in the second region and below the first end.
