Abstract
An object of the present invention is to provide a power semiconductor module that can secure a satisfactory cooling without expanding the size of a case component. In the power semiconductor module according to the present invention, a frame case includes a front surface, a back surface, and a pair of side surfaces and formed with an opening part in at least one of the front surface and the back surface. A metal base is inserted into the opening part of the frame case. A frame case is provided with a joining part FW to which the peripheral part of the metal base and the peripheral part of the opening part of the frame case are joined. A first concaved part and a second concaved part are formed respectively in each of a pair of side surfaces of the frame case. Each of the concaved parts is prolonged toward an inner side of the frame case from the side surfaces, and includes a bottom surface formed facing the joining part FW side in an intermediate position of the thickness direction of each of the side surfaces.
