A power module includes a plurality of conductive wire groups and a sealing member. The plurality of conductive wire groups each include a first bonded portion and a second bonded portion. A maximum gap between intermediate portions of a pair of conductive wire groups adjacent to each other is larger than a first gap between the first bonded portions of the pair of conductive wire groups adjacent to each other. The maximum gap between the intermediate portions of the pair of conductive wire groups adjacent to each other is larger than a second gap between the second bonded portions of the pair of conductive wire groups adjacent to each other. Therefore, the power module is improved in reliability.
