Fig. 4 is a cross-sectional view showing details of module 1 for electrical components according to the first embodiment. The substrate 2 is a flat, plate-shaped element with a conductor section. The substrate 2 comprises a base material 2a, a first metal foil 2d, and a second metal foil 2e. Furthermore, a through-hole 2f is provided in the substrate 2. The cross-sectional shape of the base material 2a is a rectangle that is longer in the second direction than in the first. An insulating resin is used as the material for the base material 2a. The base material 2a comprises a first surface 2b and a second surface 2c, which faces away from the first surface 2b. The first metal foil 2d is provided on the first surface 2b of the base material 2a. The first metal foil 2d is partially bonded to the first surface 2b of the base material 2a.

Electrical components (not shown) are mounted on substrate 2. These components include, for example, a noise filter, a smoothing capacitor, sensors that detect current and voltage, a microcomputer, and peripheral circuitry for the microcomputer. The electronic components are connected to the first metal foil 2d, the second metal foil 2e, or the through-hole 2f by soldering.

The coil 3 comprises two conductor wires 3a extending towards the substrate 2. The two conductor wires 3a are separated from each other in the second direction. The heat transfer resin 4 is an element arranged between the substrate 2 and the coil 3 and is in contact with both. The heat transfer resin 4 plays a role in transferring the heat generated by the coil 3 to the heat transfer pin 7 and the substrate 2. Preferably, a resin with high thermal conductivity is used as the heat transfer resin 4. The heat transfer resin 4 is arranged between the substrate 2 and the coil 3. The heat transfer resin 4 is thermally bonded to the first metal foil 2d and the coil 3. A portion of the heat transfer resin 4 penetrates the first metal foil 2d in the first direction and is in contact with the first surface 2b. The metal element 5 is located on a side facing away from the coil 3 and in the first direction from the substrate 2, with the base material 2a positioned between the metal element 5 and the coil 3.

In the present embodiment, the metal element 5 is a metal sheet. However, the metal element 5 can also be a heat sink, a housing forming the outline of a device on which the drive unit 12e is installed, or the like. In a case where the drive unit 12e is installed on the air conditioner 10, the metal element 5 can be the sheet metal housing 12a of the outdoor unit 12. The heat dissipation element 6 is an element arranged between the substrate 2 and the metal element 5 and is in contact with both. The heat dissipation element 6 plays a role in dissipating the heat generated by the coil 3. A heat-dissipating film, a gel, or a gel with heat dissipation properties is used as the heat dissipation element 6. The heat dissipation element 6 is arranged between the substrate 2 and the metal element 5. The heat dissipation element 6 is thermally connected to the second metal foil 2e and the metal element 5. A portion of the heat dissipation element 6 penetrates the second metal foil 2e in the first direction and is in contact with the second surface 2c. The heat transfer pin 7 is a metal element inserted into the through-hole 2f. Preferably, a metal with high thermal conductivity is used as the heat transfer pin 7.

A portion of the heat transfer pin 7 is in contact with the heat transfer resin 4. A portion of the heat transfer pin 7 penetrates the heat transfer resin 4. The heat transfer pin 7 projects towards the heat dissipation element 6 via the second surface 2c of the substrate 2 and the second metal foil 2e. A portion of the heat transfer pin 7 is in contact with the heat dissipation element 6. A portion of the heat transfer pin 7 penetrates the heat dissipation element 6. The heat transfer pin 7 exits the heat transfer resin 4 through the through-hole 2f and reaches the heat dissipation element 6. Although the number of heat transfer pins 7 is not particularly limited, in the present embodiment there are four. The four heat transfer pins 7 are arranged at intervals in the second direction. The individual heat transfer pin 7 is inserted into the individual through-hole 2f. The heat transfer pin 7 is arranged in a position that overlaps the coil 3 in the first direction. The heat transfer pin 7 is arranged in a position that is closer to the center of the coil 3 in the second direction. The heat transfer pin 7 is arranged in the second direction between the two conductor wires 3a. The heat transfer pin 7 is arranged on the inner side of each conductor wire 3a. The effects of module 1 on electrical components according to the first embodiment are described below. In the present embodiment, as shown in Fig. 4, the module 1 for electrical components comprises the coil 3, which is arranged away from the substrate 2 in the thickness direction of the substrate 2, and the heat transfer resin 4, which is arranged between the substrate 2 and the coil 3 and is in contact with both the substrate 2 and the coil 3. The module 1 for electrical components further comprises the metal element 5, which is arranged on the side facing away from the coil 3 and away from the substrate 2 in the thickness direction of the substrate 2, with the substrate 2 being arranged between the metal element 5 and the coil 3, and the heat dissipation element 6, which is arranged between the substrate 2 and the metal element 5 and is in contact with both the substrate 2 and the metal element 5.Furthermore, the module 1 for electrical components includes the metallic heat transfer pin 7, which is inserted into the through-hole 2f, and a portion of the heat transfer pin 7 is in contact with the heat transfer resin 4. Additionally, a portion of the heat transfer pin 7 is in contact with the heat dissipation element 6. With these configurations, in the present embodiment, a path is essentially divided into two paths: one in which the heat generated by the coil 3 is transferred to the heat transfer resin 4, the heat transfer pin 7, the heat dissipation element 6, and the metal element 5 in that order; and another in which the heat generated by the coil 3 is transferred to the heat transfer resin 4, the substrate 2, the heat dissipation element 6, and the metal element 5 in that order.The heat transferred from each path to the metal element 5 can then be dissipated from the metal element 5 to the exterior of the drive device 12e. It should be noted that the heat transferred from the heat transfer resin 4 to the substrate 2 is transferred in this order to the first metal foil 2d, the through-hole 2f, and the second metal foil 2e. In the present embodiment, the heat generated by the coil 3 is transferred to the substrate 2 via the heat transfer resin 4, and furthermore, the heat generated by the coil 3 is transferred to the heat dissipation element 6 via the heat transfer pin 7. Therefore, compared to a case where the heat generated by the coil 3 is transferred to the substrate 2 only via the heat transfer resin 4, the heat transfer efficiency from the coil 3 to the metal element 5 can be increased, and the cooling of the coil 3 can be enhanced. In particular, in the present embodiment, by connecting the heat transfer resin 4 and the heat dissipation element 6 with the metallic heat transfer pin 7, the heat transfer efficiency from the heat transfer resin 4 to the heat dissipation element 6 can be increased. Furthermore, by increasing the heat transfer efficiency from the coil 3 to the metal element 5, it is possible to reduce the size of the coil 3, and it is possible to reduce the effect of the heat from the coil 3 on peripheral components and to reduce the area of ​​the substrate 2. In the present embodiment, as shown in Fig. 4, the heat transfer pin 7 projects towards the heat transfer resin 4 beyond the first surface 2b of the substrate 2 and the first metal foil 2d in such a way that the area of ​​the heat transfer pin 7 that absorbs heat from the heat transfer resin 4 is increased. Therefore, it is possible to efficiently transfer the heat from the heat transfer resin 4 to the heat transfer pin 7, and it is possible to further increase the heat transfer efficiency from the coil 3 to the metal element 5. In the present embodiment, as shown in Fig. 4, the heat transfer pin 7 projects from the second surface 2c of the substrate 2 and the second metal foil 2e towards the heat dissipation element 6 in such a way that the area of ​​the heat transfer pin 7 that transfers heat to the heat dissipation element 6 increases. Therefore, it is possible to efficiently transfer heat from the heat transfer pin 7 to the heat dissipation element 6, and it is possible to further increase the heat transfer efficiency from the coil 3 to the metal element 5. Since the heat transfer resin 4 shown in Fig. 4 is a resin, it can be easily deformed in the present embodiment. Therefore, the coil 3, which has irregularities, can be brought into close contact with the heat transfer resin 4, making it possible to efficiently transfer heat from the coil 3 to the heat transfer resin 4 and to further increase the heat transfer efficiency from the coil 3 to the metal element 5. It should be noted that in the present embodiment, the heat transfer pin 7 is inserted into the through-hole 2f and attached to the heat transfer resin 4 and the heat dissipation element 6. However, the heat transfer pin 7 can also be connected to the substrate 2 by soldering. Since the volume of a metal part of the heat transfer pin 7 can be increased in this way, it is possible to further increase the heat transfer efficiency from the coil 3 to the metal element 5. Second embodiment. Next, a module 1A for electrical components according to a second embodiment is described with reference to Fig. 5. Fig. 5 is a cross-sectional view showing details of the module 1A for electrical components according to the second embodiment. The present embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that a liquid metal 6a is used as a heat dissipation element 6, and a housing section 5a, in which the liquid metal 6a is housed, is provided in the metal element 5. It should be noted that in the second embodiment, the parts that overlap with those of the first embodiment are provided with the same reference numerals, and their description is omitted. The annular housing section 5a, which projects towards the substrate 2, is formed in a section of the metal element 5 facing the substrate 2. A front end of a wall of the housing section 5a is in contact with the second metal foil 2e of the substrate 2. A recess 5b is formed in the housing section 5a, opening towards the substrate 2. The liquid metal 6a is contained in the recess 5b. The liquid metal 6a is in contact with the second metal foil 2e, the heat transfer pin 7, and the conducting wire 3a of the coil 3. A portion of the heat transfer pin 7 and a portion of the conducting wire 3a penetrate the liquid metal 6a. In the present embodiment, the heat dissipation element 6 is the liquid metal, and the metal element 5 comprises the housing section 5a in which the liquid metal 6a is contained such that the heat transferred from the heat transfer pin 7 to the liquid metal 6a causes a convection phenomenon within the liquid metal 6a. That is, the heated liquid metal 6a transfers heat to the metal element 5 while causing the convection phenomenon. By utilizing the properties of the liquid metal 6a, which, as a liquid, causes the convection phenomenon, and the properties of the liquid metal 6a, which, as a metal, exhibits high thermal conductivity, it is therefore possible to efficiently transfer heat from the heat dissipation element 6 to the metal element 5, and it is possible to further increase the heat transfer efficiency from the coil 3 to the metal element 5. In the present embodiment, a configuration has been described in which the housing section 5a is formed by a portion of the section of the metal element 5 facing the substrate 2 projecting towards the substrate 2. However, the present embodiment is not limited to this configuration. For example, the housing section 5a can be formed by omitting a portion of the section of the metal element 5 facing the substrate 2, such that it is located away from the substrate 2 in the first direction. The configurations shown in the embodiments described above are examples and can be combined with other known techniques. Furthermore, the embodiments can be combined with one another, and some configurations can be partially omitted or modified without departing from the scope of the present invention. In each embodiment described above, a case is described in which the number of heat transfer pins 7 is four. However, the number of heat transfer pins 7 can be suitably increased or decreased. Although the heat transfer pins 7 shown in Figures 3, 4 to 5 are arranged in a horizontal direction of the paper, they can also be arranged in a depth direction of the paper, or both horizontally and in a depth direction. While the heat transfer pin 7 shown in Figures 3, 4 to 5 is arranged on the inside of the conductor wire 3a, it can also be arranged on the outside of the conductor wire 3a.In such a configuration, it is sufficient that the through-hole 2f is provided in a section of the substrate 2 located on the outside of the conductor wire 3a, and that the heat transfer pin 7 is inserted into the through-hole 2f. In each of the embodiments described above, the heat transfer pin 7 projects beyond the first metal foil 2d towards the heat transfer resin 4. However, the heat transfer pin 7 can also be in contact with the heat transfer resin 4 without projecting beyond the first metal foil 2d towards the heat transfer resin 4. That is, an end face of the heat transfer pin 7 facing the heat transfer resin 4 and an end face of the first metal foil 2d facing the heat transfer resin 4 can form the same surface. Furthermore, in each of the embodiments described above, the heat transfer pin 7 projects beyond the second metal foil 2e towards the heat dissipation element 6. However, the heat transfer pin 7 can also be in contact with the heat dissipation element 6 without projecting beyond the second metal foil 2e towards it. That is, an end face of the heat transfer pin 7 facing the heat dissipation element 6 and an end face of the second metal foil 2e facing the heat transfer resin 4 can form the same surface. Furthermore, in each of the embodiments described above, a portion of the heat transfer pin 7 is in contact with the heat dissipation element 6. However, a portion of the heat transfer pin 7 can be separated from the heat dissipation element 6 without the heat transfer pin 7 coming into contact with the heat dissipation element 6. In this way, the path is divided into the path in which the heat generated by the coil 3 is transferred to the heat transfer resin 4, the heat transfer pin 7, the substrate 2, the heat dissipation element 6, and the metal element 5 in that order, and the path in which the heat generated by the coil 3 is transferred to the heat transfer resin 4, the substrate 2, the heat dissipation element 6, and the metal element 5 in that order.This means that the heat generated by the coil 3 is transferred to the substrate 2 via the heat transfer resin 4, and additionally, the heat generated by the coil 3 is transferred to the substrate 2 via the heat transfer pin 7. Therefore, it is possible to increase the heat transfer efficiency from the coil 3 to the metal element 5 compared to the prior art, and it is possible to improve the cooling of the coil 3. The heat-generating component to be cooled is not limited to coil 3, as long as the heat-generating component is an electronic device that generates heat. The heat-generating component could, for example, be a capacitor.
