Patent ID: 8174097

Claim:
An electrical assembly comprising: an integrated circuit comprising at least one power semiconductor element and further electronic components; wherein the at least one power semiconductor element and the further electronic components are connected to one another and to connections by conductors formed by a leadframe; wherein the leadframe has a cooling area and parts used for electrical conduction; the cooling area is thermally conductively connected to a thermal contact area of the integrated circuit; and wherein the cooling area is formed as a thermal contact plate injection-molded into a component or cast into a component, and includes a free end having a bent portion that defines a connection lug; wherein the component is composed of an electrically insulating material and has a receptacle where the integrated circuit is inserted; wherein the thermal contact area of the integrated circuit is formed as a plate-like contact leading out from the integrated circuit and having bent portion that defines a mating connection lug; wherein at least one of the conductors formed by the leadframe has a bent portion that defines a signal connection lug; wherein a plate-like signal conductor leading out from the integrated circuit has a bent portion that defines a signal mating connection lug; wherein the connection lug of the cooling area bears on and is thermally conductively connected to the mating connection lug of the thermal contact area; and wherein the signal connection lug of the conductor bears on and is thermally conductively connected to the signal mating connection lug of the plate-like signal conductor.
