Power module and power converter containing power module

A power converter comprising:

• a power module including a semiconductor chip, a sheet conductor coupled to a main surface of the semiconductor chip, a coupling terminal electrically coupled to a direct current power source, and a resin material to seal the sheet conductor;
• and
• a flow passage forming piece including a flow passage for flow of a cooling medium;
• a cooler with a bottom including an open section, and also containing a first cooling surface, and a second cooling surface opposite the applicable first cooling surface;
• and
• a condenser cell, and a condenser module including a condenser case to store the applicable condenser cell,
• wherein the flow passage forming piece includes an open section coupling with the flow passage on the specified surface,
• wherein the power module is immersed into the flow passage from the open section,
• wherein the resin material includes a protruding section protruding from the open section,
• wherein the coupling terminal is clamped to the protruding section,
• wherein a portion of the sheet conductor is coupled to the coupling terminal by way of a metal material that melts at a specified temperature,
• wherein the cooler stores the power module,
• wherein the sheet conductor includes a first sheet conductor mounted opposite one of the main surfaces of the semiconductor chip, and a second sheet conductor mounted opposite the other main surface of the semiconductor chip, and further the applicable first sheet conductor is mounted by way of the first insulation member opposite the first cooling surface, and the applicable second sheet conductor is mounted by way of the second insulation member opposite the second cooling surface,
• wherein the condenser case includes a flange section where holes are formed,
• wherein the coupling terminals of the power module pass through holes in the condenser case, and
• wherein the metal material is mounted in a space where the flange section of condenser case and the flange section of cooler are formed opposite each other.
