Abstract:
1. An arrangement, comprising: a power semiconductor module including connection contacts and a module housing of a plastic material, the connection contacts are led out laterally from the module housing parallel to the underside of the module housing, and also run outside the module housing at an angle of greater than 180 degrees with respect to the underside of the module housing; an insulator frame separate from the module housing and into which the module housing is seated such that the insulator frame is arranged between the connection contacts outside the module housing and a cooling element, wherein the insulator frame adjoins the module housing in an insulating manner and runs essentially parallel to the connection contacts, where the insulator frame has a first region, which follows that region of the connection contacts which is oriented parallel to the underside of the module housing; and wherein the insulator frame has a second region, which is adjacent to the first region and which follows that region of the connection contacts in which the connection contacts form an angle of greater than 180 degrees with respect to the underside of the module housing.
