Abstract
A converter for an air conditioner includes a substrate, an inductor that is disposed in one side of the substrate and includes a core and a coil wound around the core, a switching element that is disposed in one side of the substrate and selectively controls a flow of a circuit, and a heat sink for absorbing heat generated from the switching element by contacting the switching element. A lead-in hole is formed in one side of the substrate, and at least a portion of the inductor is disposed in the lead-in hole, thereby quickly discharging the heat generated by the inverter and more efficiently using a space.
