Abstract
Electrode plates acting as a heat sink are arranged to sandwich a power transistor and a diode. Electrode plates at their surfaces opposite cooling elements at a portion opposite power transistor and diode are formed to be smaller in thickness at a portion adjacent to power transistor and diode substantially at the center than at a periphery. Cooling elements are disposed geometrically along electrode plates to sandwich electrode plates.
