Abstract:
1. A thermoelectric conversion module comprising: one pair of substrates; a plurality of thermoelectric conversion elements, each having one end portion electrically connected to a first electrode which is arranged on one of the substrates and the other end portion electrically connected to a second electrode which is arranged on the other of the substrates; and a connection section which electrically connects the first electrode electrically connected to the thermoelectric conversion element to the second electrode electrically connected to an adjacent one of the thermoelectric conversion elements, wherein the plurality of thermoelectric conversion elements are composed of only one of n-type thermoelectric conversion elements and p-type thermoelectric conversion elements, the connection section is intended to electrically connect adjacent two of thermoelectric conversion elements in series and is separate from the first electrode and the second electrode, the first electrode and the second electrode each comprises an element arrangement section which is electrically connected to the thermoelectric conversion element and a protruding section which protrudes from the element arrangement section along the substrates, and protruding each of the protruding sections of the first and second electrodes has a connection hole provided therein into which the connection section is inserted.
