Thermoelectric conversion module and method for manufacturing a thermoelectric conversion module

Abstract

A thermoelectric conversion module comprising an insulating sheet substrate having a front surface and a back surface opposing each other, a plurality of thermoelectric conversion elements, and a connecting portion. The plurality of thermoelectric conversion elements are formed in an elongate shape extending along a first direction. The connecting portion extends from a first electrode to a second electrode and electrically connects in series the plurality of thermoelectric conversion elements at the ends of the elongate shape of the thermoelectric conversion elements. Of the plurality of thermoelectric conversion elements electrically connected in series by the connecting portion, odd-numbered thermoelectric conversion elements from the first electrode are positioned on the front surface side and are arrayed along a second direction intersecting the first direction. Of the plurality of thermoelectric conversion elements electrically connected in series by the connecting portion, even-numbered thermoelectric conversion elements from the first electrode are positioned on the back surface side and are arrayed along the second direction.
