Claim 0:
1. A thermoelectric generation module comprising:
a pair of substrates;
a plurality of electrodes that are arranged on the pair of substrates;
a thermoelectric conversion element that is arranged between a pair of electrodes among the plurality of electrodes; and
a terminal that is connected to an electrode of the pair of electrodes, the terminal passing through a substrate of the pair of substrates,
wherein the substrate defines a through-hole that receives the terminal, the substrate including:
an insulator layer that is made of an electrical insulating material, the through-hole extending through the insulator layer, and
an annular metal layer that is in contact with the insulator layer and arranged at a peripheral portion of the through-hole,

wherein the thermoelectric generation module further comprises a solder that covers a space between the terminal and the through-hole,
wherein the terminal comprises:
a main body having a columnar shape that extends in an axial direction, the main body passing through the through-hole and extending outside a top surface of the substrate in the axial direction, and
a head disposed at an end of the main body and disposed at a bottom surface of the substrate opposite to the top surface of the substrate in the axial direction,

wherein the solder has a fillet shape disposed over the main body and the annular metal layer, and
wherein the solder is in contact with the annular metal layer and the main body.
