Abstract
In a wiring member, an element connection portion, a plate connection portion, and an upper surface portion are at height positions different from one another. The element connection portion has a through hole, and the plate connection portion has a through hole and a chamfer. The upper surface portion which is not connected to another portion, has projections asymmetrically disposed on both side surfaces thereof. Owing to these features, the type, the orientation, and the front and the back of the wiring member can be easily distinguished. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent incorrect assembling of the wiring member in a semiconductor module.
Claims10
A wiring member for electrically connecting at least a first conduction portion and a second conduction portion to each other, the wiring member comprising:
- a first connection portion to be connected to the first conduction portion;
- a second connection portion to be connected to the second conduction portion;
- an upper surface portion disposed between the first connection portion and the second connection portion;
- a first leg portion disposed between one end of the upper surface portion and the first connection portion;
- and
- a second leg portion disposed between other end of the upper surface portion and the second connection portion,
- wherein the first connection portion, the second connection portion, the upper surface portion, the first leg portion, and the second leg portion are integrated with each other,
- wherein the upper surface portion has at least one from among projections and recesses, and
- wherein the at least one from among the projections and the recesses are asymmetrically provided to both side surfaces of the upper surface portion.
