## Abstract

An element module includes an element, a plurality of conductive members, and a spacer member. The plurality of conductive members are connected to the element and arranged in a predetermined direction. The spacer member is disposed between two conductive members of the plurality of conductive members adjacent to each other in the predetermined direction and is in contact with parts of the two conductive members.

## Claims

### Claim 1

An element module comprising:
an element;
three or more conductive plates arranged in a predetermined direction; and
a spacer member disposed between two conductive plates of three or more conductive plates adjacent to each other in the predetermined direction and that is in contact with parts of the two conductive plates,
wherein the element is connected to a conductive plates of the three or more conductive plates positioned in an end portion thereof in the predetermined direction, and
an outer shape of the spacer member has an annular shape.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The element module according to claim 1, wherein the spacer member is integrated with the conductive plates.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The element module according to claim 2, wherein an outer shape of the spacer member includes a plurality of protrusions protruding, in the predetermined direction, from at least one surface of the conductive plates.
