Abstract

An electric circuit module comprising: an electric device comprising an electric circuit to serve for passage and interruption of electric current, a packing material packing the electric circuit and a plurality of wiring members to electrically connect the electric circuit with an external circuit; and a heat sink to radiate heat from the electric device. The electric circuit module includes a fixture to fix the heat sink and the electric device together so that a heat radiating surface of the electric device comes into contact with the heat sink. The fixture is formed with a recess to accommodate therein a part of the electric device so that the heat radiating surface of the electric device is exposed from the fixture. When the electric device is fixed to the heat sink by the fixture, the heat radiating surface comes into contact with the heat sink.
