Abstract
A heat exchanger includes: a heat exchange core portion; and a tank portion connected to the heat exchange core portion. The heat exchange core portion has a connection plate that surrounds a part of the tank portion from an outer peripheral side. The connection plate has slit-shaped openings arranged along an edge of the connection plate in a first direction. A part of the connection plate between each of the openings and the edge is deformable into a concave shape toward the tank portion. A part of the openings has a widened portion at both ends in the first direction. A width dimension of the widened portion in a second direction from the opening to the edge is larger than that of the other portion of the opening.
