A compact inverter device that includes a power module having a switching element and a smoothing capacitor that converts electric power between DC power and AC power. The inverter is configured with a plate-like DC bus board to which the smoothing capacitor is fixed, a fixing member that maintains a relative positional relation between the DC bus board. The DC bus board has a plurality of connection positive terminals that are electrically connected to the positive electrode pattern and that are respectively electrically connected to the positive terminals of the plurality of power modules. The DC bus board and power modules are fixed to the fixing member by connection positive terminal and positive terminals through a common fastening member, and similarly on the negative terminals.
