Abstract
A heat exchanger includes flat tubes spaced apart from each other and located in parallel, a header that connects end portions of the flat tubes, and a fin joined between the flat tubes adjacent to each other. The fin is provided with a break line that breaks the fin when bending is performed. A cut is provided at both ends of the break line on the fin including a first end and a second end, and extends parallel to the airflow direction from the first end to the second end.
