Abstract
A bus bar module ( ) includes a bus bar ( ) made of a metal material integrally molded into an insulating layer ( ) made from resin. The bus bar module ( ) also includes a distortion absorptive section ( ) for absorbing distortion resulting from difference in the thermal expansion coefficient between the bus bar ( ) and the insulating layer ( ). Thus, the insulating layer ( ) can stretch out by a difference in expanded dimension between the insulating layer ( ) and the bus bar ( ) at thermal expansion. In this way, the distortion resulting from the difference in the thermal expansion coefficient between the bus bar ( ) and the insulating layer ( ) can be absorbed, and crack occurrence in the insulating layer ( ) can be prevented.
