Abstract:
A power electronic module comprising two individual modules (1) each comprising at least one power electronic component (5) having at least one contact face (6) mounted on a metallic face (7) of a substrate (8), control connections (9, 14, 20), power connections (11, 13, 20) for transmitting power between components (5) or to other individual modules (1) and at least one metallic heat exchanger (2) for evacuating the power dissipated by the power electronic component (5) due to the Joule effect, said metallic heat exchanger (2) being mounted on another face (12) of the substrate (8), whereinthe two individual modules (1) are face to face, the power electronic component (5) of one individual module (1) facing the power electronic component (5) of the other individual module (1), and separated from each other by at least one spacer (3) comprising control leads (14) for controlling the individual modules (1) and power leads (13) for transmitting power to the individual modules (1) or between individual modules (1).
