Resins (5, 6) are interposed as insulating layers between heat radiation
side and heat absorption side heat exchange bodies (2, 3) and heat
radiation side and heat absorption side electrodes (41, 42) of a
thermoelectric conversion element module (4). The resin (5) is fusion
bonded to the heat radiation side heat exchange body (2), and the resin
(6) is fusion bonded to the heat radiation side heat exchange body (3).
The material of the resins (5, 6) is, for example, a thermosetting
plastic. The thermosetting plastic becomes soft when heated and then
cures. At the time of fusion bonding of the resins (5, 6) to the heat
exchange bodies (2, 3), the heat exchange bodies (2, 3) and the resins
(5, 6) are heated and pressed. Then, the resins (5, 6) become soft and
enter the cavities and flaws formed in the surfaces of the heat exchange
bodies (2, 3). The resins (5, 6) having entered the cavities and flaws
cure to fill the cavities in the surfaces of the heat exchange bodies (2,
3).
