Abstract

A power converter includes a first substrate on which a module including a switching element is mounted, a second substrate on which a smoothing capacitor is mounted, and a terminal block connecting the first substrate and the second substrate, with the first and second substrates located to face each other. The terminal block includes a current path over which at least one of current flowing from the module to the smoothing capacitor and current flowing from the smoothing capacitor to the module flows.
