Abstract
A power converter configured to be mounted on an electrically driven vehicle comprises a control board that controls a power module including a semiconductor device, a connector provided on the control board so as to be connected to an external controller, a strong electric component arranged so as to overlap the control board, and a housing that houses the control board and the strong electric component. A bottom portion of the housing is formed to swell in a convex-shaped manner, a part of the strong electric component is housed in an area of the housing that swells in the convex-shaped manner, and the strong electric component is formed so that a projection area thereof to the overlappingly arranged control board is smaller than a surface area of the control board. The connector is arranged in an area of the control board broader than a projection plane of the overlappingly arranged strong electric component to the control board.
