Abstract:
A power conversion component comprising:a power semiconductor element having an output line,a drive circuit connected to the power semiconductor element for driving the same,a protect circuit connected to the power semiconductor element, said power conversion component element, drive circuit and protect circuit being integrated in a same package,a shunt resistor provided in series with the output line from the power conversion component element to detect an output current and including two bonding areas spaced apart from each other and having a plurality of bonding locations, and two ends connected to the two bonding areas respectively, one bonding area being connected to the output line leading to the power conversion component element through the bonding locations and the other bonding area being connected to the output line leading to an output end through the bonding locations; andcontrol pins connected to the ends of the shunt resistor to be connected to an external device through a wiring pattern, said bonding locations in each bonding area being changed relative to each other and the control pin corresponding thereto to change a resistance of the shunt resistor.
