Power converter
First Claim
1. A power converter, which comprisesa cooler having a cooling flow path, through which a refrigerant flows,a base plate, on which switching elements are mounted;
- a control circuit board, on which power-generating elements are mounted, andsecuring pins, which securely fix the base plate to a cooling flow path wall of the cooler, and also support the control circuit board a distance from the base plate, characterized in that;
one end of each of the securing pins passes through the base plate and the cooling flow path wall, and reaches inside the cooling flow path, and a part of the securing pin that passes through the cooling flow path wall is fastened to the cooling flow path wall; and
the other end of each of the securing pins is extended to a side opposite to the cooling flow path wall, and the control circuit board is fixed to a distal end of the securing pin.

Abstract
A power converter including a cooler having a cooling flow path in which a refrigerant flows, a base plate to which switching elements are attached, a control circuit board on which power-generating elements are attached, and securing pins that secure the base plate onto the lower cooler wall of the cooler and support the control circuit board so as to be spaced apart from the base plate. Upper end parts of the securing pins pass through the base plate and the cooler lower wall, reaching inside the cooling flow path. First pass-through parts of the securing pins for the lower cooler wall are fitted by pressure into the lower cooler wall . Support column parts of the securing pins extend in a direction opposite the lower cooler wall, and the control circuit board is secured to lower flanges thereof.
