Abstract:
1. An arrangement for contact-connecting at least one electronic component mounted in a housing with connection wires to a cooling surface comprising a spring element that can be fixed in the housing and has at least one spring arm which presses the component against the cooling surface in a contact-pressure position of the spring element, wherein the spring element can be inserted into the housing without touching the component, and the housing is provided with retaining means for the spring element adapted in a manner so that no shear forces are produced in the longitudinal direction of the connection wires when the spring element is mounted, wherein insertion grooves are arranged on the housing in such a way that the spring element can be inserted into the insertion grooves of the housing in a first mounting position parallel to the cooling surface without touching the component by being guided in the insertion grooves, wherein the retaining means are in the form of latching grooves which retain the spring element in the contact-pressure position, and wherein the insertion grooves and the latching grooves are arranged adjoining each other on the housing and a transition region between the insertion grooves and the latching grooves is formed in such a way that the spring element can be moved from the insertion grooves in the first mounting position into the latching grooves in the contact-pressure position by overcoming a latching spring force F by means of a pushing movement in a direction perpendicular to the cooling surface.
