Zusammenfassung:A power converter (100) includes a power converter circuit (1), a cooler (2), and a cover member (3). The power converter circuit is configured to convert input electric power into DC power or AC power. The power converter circuit is placed on the cooler. The cooler is configured to cool the power converter. The power converter circuit is housed between the cooler and the cover member. The cooler (2) includes a main body (20), a coolant flow passage (21), and a coolant input/output portion (22). The coolant flow passage is formed inside the main body. A coolant is circulatable through the coolant flow passage. The coolant input/output portion is coupled to the coolant flow passage. The coolant input/output portion includes a coolant introduction pipe (22a) and a coolant discharge pipe (22b). The coolant introduction pipe introduces the coolant from outside the cooler. The coolant discharge pipe discharges the coolant to outside the cooler. The coolant input/output portion (22) is joined to the main body. The joined part has a joining strength lower than a strength of the main body.
