Abstract
A blower for flowing cooling air toward a corrugated fin is disposed to face the corrugated fin. The blower is covered with a blower case. Leg portions are integrally formed with and protrude from the blower case to face the corrugated fin at both sides in a corrugated direction of the corrugated fin. The blower case is fixed to a radiation plate by elastic deformation of the leg portions. The leg portions cover the both sides in the corrugated direction of the corrugated fin, so that the corrugated fin is protected from external force.
