Claim:
1. A semiconductor device comprising: an external terminal; a resin case having a peripheral wall portion including a plurality of terminal attachment holes each being configured to receive said external terminal, said external terminal being_mounted in one of the terminal attachment holes, and having an L-shaped leg portion disposed inside the resin case; a terminal pressing frame made of an insulating material and supporting the external terminal at a predetermined mounting position; a semiconductor chip; a metal base having an insulating circuit substrate on which the semiconductor chip is mounted; and an adhesive coupling the terminal pressing frame to the metal base, wherein the semiconductor device has a first gap between a portion of the terminal pressing frame and a portion of the L-shaped leg portion, the semiconductor device has a second gap between the terminal pressing frame and an inside surface of the resin case, the terminal pressing frame contacts a leading end of the L-shaped leg portion, the terminal pressing frame being coupled to the L-shaped leg portion by a first part of the adhesive, that is disposed in the first gap, and coupled to the inside surface of the resin case by a second part of the adhesive that is disposed in the second gap.
