Abstract

Since the exposed collector part 32 of one semiconductor switching element 29 is attached to the heat radiating fin 42 by coating and filling a thermal conducting filler therebetween via spacers 33, 34 and 35, and the exposed collector part 37 of another semiconductor switching element 36 is directly attached to the same heat radiating fin 42 by coating the thermal conducting filler 41 thereto without any spacer, heat resulting from switching losses can be effectively transmitted to the heat radiating fin 42 and can be radiated therefrom. To effectively transmit heat, which results from switching losses, to a heat radiating fin and to radiate the same even if two semiconductor switching elements are connected in series, a collector part is exposed on the rear side thereof, and the two semiconductor switching elements are attached to a single heat radiating fin.
