Claim Text:
1. A power converter comprising: a bus bar having a vertical wall; a semiconductor device having an upper surface and a vertical direction substantially perpendicular to the upper surface, the semiconductor device including an electrode; a lead having one end connected to the vertical wall of the bus bar and another end connected to the semiconductor device to supply power from the bus bar to the electrode of the semiconductor device via the lead, the one end of the lead including a bending part which is spaced away from the vertical wall of the bus bar by a predetermined distance and which is inclined in the vertical direction; and solder in direct contact with the vertical wall of the bus bar to bond the vertical wall of the bus bar and the bending part, the vertical wall extending in the vertical direction to face the bending part, a bond angle formed between the bending part and the vertical wall being set to an acute angle in a cross-section perpendicular to the vertical wall and the upper surface of the semiconductor device, the acute angle being an angle of greater than zero degrees.
