A power converter is provided, which includes a power module part and a smoothing part including a smoothing capacitor, a cathode-side connection busbar, and an anode-side connection busbar. The smoothing capacitor has a cathode-side terminal and an anode-side terminal. One of the cathode-side connection busbar and the anode-side connection busbar has a first plate-shaped busbar and a second busbar. The second busbar connects the first busbar and the power module part. The first busbar has a terminal joining part and an extended part. The second busbar has a base part and a connection piece part connecting between the base part and the power module part. The terminal joining part and the extended part of the first busbar have a greater width and a lesser thickness than the connection piece part of the second busbar.
