Abstract
A semiconductor module includes a switching element, a molded body, and a motor terminal. The molded body having the switching element disposed therein. The motor terminal has a base portion and a connection portion having an insertion hole into which a motor wire is inserted and connected with the winding wire. The connection portion has a cutaway region that defines a slot. The winding wire of the motor and the semiconductor module are connected via the motor wire and the motor terminal, thereby reducing the number of components used for such connection compared with a connection that uses a connector, and achieving a volume reduction of the semiconductor module and a driver device using the same.
