Patent ID: 8299585

Claim:
A power semiconductor device comprising: a first active semiconductor component and a second active semiconductor component, the electrical connections of which are routed out of the semiconductor components in the form of connecting legs; and plug-in connections for at least partially connecting the first semiconductor component to the second semiconductor component, wherein the plug-in connections are provided by virtue of the connecting legs of the second semiconductor component engaging in the electrical connections of the first active semiconductor component, wherein at least one connecting leg of the second semiconductor component has a groove and at least one connecting leg of the first semiconductor component has a bore, the dimensions of the groove and of the bore being matched to one another in such a manner that, when the connecting leg of the second semiconductor component is inserted into the bore in the connecting leg of the first semiconductor component, the connecting legs latch to one another, and wherein in a direction perpendicular to the at least one connecting leg of the second semiconductor component, a width of the at least one connecting leg of the second semiconductor component at the groove where the connecting legs latch to one another is narrower than a width of the at least one connecting leg of the second semiconductor component at both ends of the groove.
