Current directional device (100), containing: a power
semiconductor module (300U, 300V, 300W) containing a power
semiconductor element designed to convert
direct current into
alternating current; a first flow path forming body (110) which forms a first flow path (112a) to allow a cooling
refrigerant to flow through it; a second flow path forming body (401) which forms a housing space (402) to allow a cooling
refrigerant to flow through it; a first base plate (400) for attaching the second flow path forming body (401) to it; a
driver circuit board (200) on which a
driver circuit is mounted to output a
control signal for controlling the power
semiconductor element; and a housing (101) for accommodating the power semiconductor module (300U, 300V, 300W), the first flow path forming body (110), the second flow path forming body (401), the first base plate (400) and the
driver circuit board (200), wherein the driver circuit board (200) is arranged such that the mounting surface of the driver circuit is opposite a side wall (401A) of the second flow path forming body (401), wherein the second flow path forming body (401) forms the
accommodation space (402) for the
accommodation of the power semiconductor module (300U, 300V, 300W), wherein the second flow path forming body (401) also forms an
insertion opening (403) leading to the
accommodation space (402) in the side wall (401A) opposite the mounting surface of the driver circuit, wherein the power semiconductor module (300U, 300V, 300W) has a control terminal (325) which passes through the
insertion opening (403) and is connected to the driver circuit board (200), wherein the first flow path forming body (110) is attached to the housing (101), wherein the first flow path forming body (110) also forms an opening section leading to the first flow path (112a), wherein the first base plate (400) is designed to close the opening section and is connected to the first flow path forming body (110), and wherein the first base plate (400) also forms a first through-hole (406) connecting the first flow path (112a) and the accommodation space (402).
