Abstract

This semiconductor module includes: a base plate formed in a plate shape; a terminal member; an electronic component joined to one surface of the base plate; and mold resin sealing the base plate, the terminal member, and the electronic component. The base plate and the terminal member are conductive members and are arranged with an interval therebetween on the same plane. Each of the base plate and the terminal member has a body portion and a terminal portion exposed to outside from the mold resin. The base plate has a through hole at an extension part which is a part extending toward the terminal portion and connected to the terminal portion, in the body portion.

Claims (46)

1 . A semiconductor module comprising:
