Patent ID: 8466551

Claim:
A semiconductor device, comprising: a main current external electrode for connecting a high-voltage main current electrode of a power semiconductor element to the outside; a resin case into which said main current external electrode is press fitted; and a low-voltage part with a wire connected to a low-voltage main current electrode of said power semiconductor element, the low-voltage part being provided on a substrate and at a position adjacent to a bottom part of said main current external electrode, wherein said main current external electrode has a press-fitted fixing portion and a claw fixing portion for fixation to said resin case, said claw fixing portion includes a projection passing through a through hole defined in said resin case, and having a bendable claw portion at its tip end, and said projection with said claw portion is provided at a position farther from said low-voltage part than the center of a bottom part of a terminal section of said main current external electrode.
