Abstract:
1. A power semiconductor module in a pressure contact embodiment for placement thereof on a cooling component, wherein the power semiconductor module comprises: at least one substrate having an insulation body and conductor tracks with load potential disposed on a first main face of said substrate, said first main face facing toward the interior of the power semiconductor module; at least two power semiconductor components disposed on said at least one substrate; a housing; load elements which lead from the interior of said housing to the exterior thereof, said load elements each being formed as a conductive body with a flat portion and contact feet extending from said flat portion, said flat portion being disposed parallel to, and spaced from, the surface of said substrate, said contact feet extending from said flat portion to said conductor tracks of said substrate and into electrical contact therewith; control elements which lead from the interior of said housing to the exterior thereof; and a dimensionally stable pressure plate including wherein the cooling component, said housing, and said pressure plate together form a first unit, which is mechanically decoupled from a second unit formed of said substrate and said load elements.
