## Abstract

A power conversion device includes a first electrical component, a second electrical component, a housing, a board, and a guide part. The first and second electrical components are accommodated in and fixed to the housing. The board has first through holes into which first signal terminals of the first electrical components are inserted, and second through holes into which second signal terminals of the second electrical components are inserted. The guide part is connected to the board so that guide holes formed therein are aligned with the second through holes. The first signal terminals are connected to the board through a first connection portion, and the second signal terminals are connected to the board through a second connection portion. A number of the first through holes disposed per unit area is greater than a number of second through holes disposed per unit area.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A power conversion device comprising:
a first electrical component having a plurality of first signal terminals;
a second electrical component having a plurality of second signal terminals;
a housing accommodating and fixing the first electrical component and the second electrical component;
a board having a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface in a predetermined direction that is orthogonal to the first surface, the board being formed with a plurality of first through holes defining openings on the first surface and the second surface and receiving the plurality of first signal terminals therein and a plurality of second through holes defining openings on the first surface and the second surface and receiving the plurality of second signal terminals therein;
a guide part having a plurality of guide holes defining a plurality of openings in the predetermined direction, the guide part connected to at least one of the first surface and the second surface of the board so that the plurality of guide holes and the plurality of second through holes are aligned in the predetermined direction;
a first connection portion connecting the plurality of first signal terminals to the board; and
a second connection portion connecting the plurality of second signal terminals to the board, wherein
a number of the first through holes disposed part unit area is greater than a number of the second through holes disposed per unit area,
the plurality of first through holes are located in a central area in a planar direction of the board, the planar direction being orthogonal to the predetermined direction,
the plurality of second through holes are located in an area adjacent to an end of the board in the planar direction, and
the end of the board is connected to the housing.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The power conversion device according to claim 1, wherein
the second connection portion includes a solder member.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The power conversion device according to claim 1, wherein
the second connection portion includes a fixing part having a conductive member and a solder member.
