High-power electronic components generate more heat and generate more noise than light-power electronic components.
[0027]
 By the way, in order to arrange the electrical component module 200 in the machine room 110B of the outdoor unit 100, first, a mounting bracket 240 having a slope 241 and a mounting bracket 250 having a slope 251 are previously mounted on the partition plate 119. Then, as shown in FIG. 5, the mounting piece 223 of the upper frame 220 is screwed to the slope 241 of the mounting bracket 240, and the mounting piece 234 of the lower frame 230 is screwed to the slope 251 of the mounting bracket 250. As a result, the upper frame 220 and the lower frame 230 are attached to the partition plate 119 in a cantilevered state in a lateral direction.
[0028]
 Next, as shown in FIG. 6, the heat sink 310 of the cooler 300 is placed so as to straddle between the end 224 of the vertical piece 221 of the upper frame 220 and the end 235 of the upper vertical piece 233 of the lower frame 230. Attach with screws B1 and B2. Further, as shown in FIG. 7, after the U-shaped bent portion 31 of the refrigerant pipe 30L is pressed against the groove 311 of the heat sink 310, the hook portion 322 of the cover 320 is engaged with one cover mounting portion 313 of the heat sink 310. Then, the pressing portion 323 is pressed against the other cover mounting portion 314 of the heat sink 310, and the pressing portion 323 is fixed to the cover mounting portion 314 with screws B3 and B4. This work is performed with the back panel 116 of the outdoor unit 100 removed. As described above, the cooler 300 is provided so as to straddle between the end portion 224 of the upper frame 220 and the end portion 235 of the lower frame 230, and so that the thick plate portion 312 of the heat sink 310 faces the service panel 112. It is attached.
[0029]
 Further, the main board 260 is mounted on the front 211a of the main body 211 of the fixing plate 210, and the power board 260 is mounted on the back 211b. Then, the fixing plate 210 on which the main board 260 and the power board 270 are mounted is fitted with the upper vertical piece 213 on the vertical piece 221 of the upper frame 220 and the lower vertical piece 215 on the lower vertical piece 231 of the lower frame 230. As shown, it is attached by screws B5 and B6. At this time, the mounting piece 223 of the upper frame 220 is attached to the partition plate 119 by the mounting bracket 240, and the mounting piece 234 of the lower frame 230 is attached to the partition plate 119 by the mounting bracket 250, respectively, and the other end 224 of the upper frame 220 and the lower frame 230. Since the other end 235 of the above is fixed to the U-shaped bent portion 31 of the liquid side refrigerant pipe 30L by the cooler 300, the fixing plate 210 is firmly fixed. Further, the plurality of power devices 274 of the power substrate 270 are pressed against the thick plate portion 312 of the heat sink 310 of the cooler 300 so as to be thermally coupled there. Therefore, by starting the operation of the air conditioner, the heat generated in the power device 274 is cooled by the cooler 300. If a heat-dissipating grease having high thermal conductivity is applied to the thick plate portion 312 of the heat sink 310, the thermal coupling is further improved. After the electrical component module 200 is attached to the machine room 110B as described above, a plug to which the required wiring is connected is connected to the connector 263 of the main board 260 of the electrical component module 200, and the terminal plate 400 is required. Another wire is connected.
[0030]
 As described above, in this embodiment, the main board 260 and the power board 270 are mounted on the fixing plate 210 so as to be back-to-back with the fixing plate 210 attached to the machine room 110B. Therefore, the vertical size of the main board 260 and the power board 270 is significantly smaller than the vertical size of the printed circuit board when the main board 260 and the power board 270 are arranged vertically to form one sheet. It can be effectively applied to an outdoor unit having a housing having a small space above and below.
[0031]
 At this time, the vertical size of the power board 270 is set to a size corresponding to the vertical arrangement size of the plurality of power devices 274, and the main board 260 is also set to be the same as or substantially the same as the vertical size, and then a plurality. By allocating and mounting electronic components other than the power device 274 on the main board 260 and the power board 270, the size of the main board 260 and the power board 270 in the vertical direction can be reduced.
[0032]
 Further, the lower vertical piece 231 of the lower frame 230 projects toward the front side of the fixing plate 210 by the upper horizontal piece 232, and the terminal plate 400 is attached to the front surface 231a of the lower vertical piece 231. Therefore, the terminal plate 400 protrudes forward to facilitate access to the terminal plate 400, and a wide space SP can be secured on the back surface 231b of the lower vertical piece 231. Therefore, the lower frame 230 is arranged in the space SP. It will not interfere with such things.
[0033]
 Further, the plurality of power devices 274 mounted on the power board 270 are thermally coupled to the cooler 300 on the back surface 211b side of the fixing plate 210, but are only pressed against the cooler 300. Therefore, by loosening the screws B5 and B6, the fixing plate 210, the main board 260, and the power board 270 can be integrated and removed from the front of the machine room 110B without being disturbed by the cooler 300. Maintenance of the board 260 and the power board 270 becomes easy.
[0034]
 Further, on the main board 260, a display setting circuit 261 including an LED lamp 261a, a DIP switch 261b, a button switch 261c, and the like and a plurality of connectors 263 are mounted on the front surface 260a. Therefore, by simply removing the service panel 112 from the outdoor unit 100, the operation content of the air conditioner can be confirmed by the display content of the LED lamp 261a, or the setting content can be changed by operating the DIP switch 261b or the button switch 261c. It becomes easy to switch the circuit connection by inserting and removing the plug to and from the connector 263.
