Abstract:
A semiconductor clamped-stack assembly, having at least two clamped stacks, each of the clamped stacks having a plurality of power semiconductor components and a plurality of heat sinks, and the power semiconductor components and heat sinks of a clamped stack being arranged in series along a horizontally extending axial direction of the clamped stack, the clamped stacks being arranged parallel to one another in a common frame, and the power semiconductor components being mounted on carrier elements,wherein power semiconductor components from different clamped stacks are assigned to one another, these mutually associated power semiconductor components are located in a common mounting plane, which is perpendicular to the axial directions of the clamped stacks, and the mutually associated power semiconductor components are capable of being, together with associated carrier elements, removed from the clamped-stack assembly or, respectively, inserted into the clamped-stack assembly in a common mounting direction which lies in the mounting plane, without further power semiconductor components having to be dismantled.
