Claim:
1. A power semiconductor module comprising: a substrate; a relay terminal connected to the substrate via a solder; an external connecting terminal joined to the relay terminal and in direct contact with the relay terminal; a non-conductive relay terminal holding member to hold an end portion of the relay terminal on a side of a joined surface with the solder; a non-conductive external connecting terminal holding member to hold the external connecting terminal; and an intermediate member disposed between the substrate and the external connecting terminal holding member, wherein the relay terminal holding member includes: a first engagement section engaged with a jig that fixes the substrate at time of connecting the relay terminal and the substrate by soldering; a fitting section fitted with the relay terminal, the fitting section positions the relay terminal so as to be defined in a positional relationship that allows the relay terminal and the external connecting terminal to be joined with each other, the intermediate member has a second engagement section engaged with the substrate, and the external connecting terminal holding member has a third engagement section engaged with the intermediate member.
