Patent ID: 8796533

Claim:
A thermoelectric conversion module, in which a thermoelectric conversion element is arranged on a substrate and an electrode formed on the thermoelectric conversion element and another electrode which is different therefrom are electrically connected to each other via a conductive connector formed in a predetermined shape, the connector comprising: a first fitted portion, which is engagingly mounted to the electrode of the thermoelectric conversion element; and a connector lead portion, which is electrically connected to the first fitted portion and another electrode, the connector lead portion having a second fitted portion engagingly mounted to an electrode of another thermoelectric conversion element as the another electrode arranged on the substrate, wherein the first fitted portion and the second fitted portion have bent pieces that are bendable and elastically deformable, and the bent pieces are configured to engage end edges of respective main surfaces of an electrode of the thermoelectric conversion element and an electrode of the other thermoelectric conversion element with each other so as to be elastically pushed so as to be widened, and each of which has a short-circuit piece of a sufficient length so as to brought into electrical contact with an adjacent connector when bent.
