Abstract
A semiconductor device includes a semiconductor element and a connector. The semiconductor element has a power device of a voltage drive type for controlling an on operation and an off operation of a main current by input of a drive signal. The connector receives the drive signal without making contact with an issuing unit issuing the drive signal, and transmits the drive signal to the semiconductor element. The semiconductor element preferably includes a control unit for converting the drive signal received by the connector into a voltage value, and transmitting the voltage value to the semiconductor element.
