- the frame body 21 includes the second frame member 23 disposed on the back side of the first terminal portion 15A, and the first terminal portion 15A of the peripheral edge of the printed circuit board 11. Since it has a two-part structure with the first frame member 22 arranged along the non-corresponding region, the frame body 21 is attached to the circuit component 10 on which the switching element 13 is already mounted before the heat sink 30 is bonded. The restriction of having to be assembled from the back side is gone. As a result, the printed circuit board 11 can be pressed over a wide range before the switching element 13 is mounted, and as a result, the bus bar 12 and the heat sink 30 can be firmly bonded over a wide range. It has become.
- connection end portion of the first frame member 22 with the second frame member 23 is a free end, there is a concern that the first frame member 22 may be deformed so as to open or close. Since the connecting end portions of the first frame member 22 with the second frame member 23 are connected by the bridge portion 24A, the deformation of the first frame member 22 can be prevented.
- the lance 27B is brought into contact to generate a fitting resistance.
- the first terminal portion 15A may be deformed in such a manner that the rising portion 16A falls to the printed circuit board 11 side due to the pressing force caused by the resistance.
- the terminal support portion 25 since the terminal support portion 25 receives the pressing force from the second frame member 23 (the lens 27B), the deformation of the first terminal portion 15A can be prevented.
- first seal surface 90 a of the heat radiating plate 30 and the auxiliary seal surface 90 b of the second frame member 23 are inclined with respect to the assembly direction of the second frame member 23 with respect to the heat release plate 30.
- the amount of the sealing agent 91 applied to the first seal surface 90a being scraped off by the second frame member 23 is suppressed to a slight amount. Therefore, the layer of the sealant 91 in the gap between the first seal surface 90a and the auxiliary seal surface 9 Ob is not thinned and is maintained at the desired thickness.
- the seal surfaces 90a and 90b are coated almost uniformly over the entire area, and a high sealing performance can be obtained.
- the heat radiating plate 30 includes a second seal surface 90c that is connected to an end edge (lower end edge) of the first seal surface 90a of the heat radiating plate 30 on the front side in the approach direction of the second frame member 23. 1
- the frame member 22 is fixed, and the partial force of the sealant 91 applied to the first seal surface 90a is scraped off by the second frame member 23 and onto the second seal surface 90c of the first frame member 22.
- the gap between the second frame member 23 and the first frame member 22 is sealed by the applied sealant 91 on the second seal surface 90c.

Since the obtuse angle is formed, the sealing agent 91 applied to the second seal surface 90c is expanded in a direction away from the first seal surface 90a by being pushed by the second frame member 23. Therefore, the seal area between the first frame member 22 and the second frame member 23 is enlarged, and the seal performance in this seal area is improved.
- the displacement restricting surface 76 of the locking projection 74 provided on the mounting piece 73 of the second frame member 23 also has a downward force on the locking surface 72 of the mounting base 71 of the first frame member 22. Since the second frame member 23 is restricted from being displaced upward (opposite to the assembly direction) by stopping, the second frame member 23 is assembled to the first frame member 22. Retained. As a result, misalignment occurs in these seal surfaces until the sealant 91 between the first seal surface 90a, the auxiliary seal surface 90b, the second seal surface 90c, and the third seal surface 90d is dried. It is possible to prevent the sealing performance from being deteriorated due to the uneven thickness of the layer of the sealing agent 91.
