Abstract
A thermoelectric conversion module has a substrate, a plurality of first electrodes, a plurality of thermoelectric conversion elements, a plurality of second electrodes, and connectors. The plurality of thermoelectric conversion elementsare n-type elements, connected in series. The connectoris formed as a single unit with the second electrodesand separate from the first electrodes. A receptorthat accepts the tip of the connectoris provided to each of the first electrodes. Six element rowsof five thermoelectric conversion elementsaligned along the X axis are arrayed along the Y axis. The receptorsare configured to accept connectorsof the same shape whether electrically connecting the thermoelectric conversion elementswithin the element rowsor electrically connecting between adjacent element rows. The first electrodesand second electrodesare all the same shape.
