HALF-BRIDGE MODULE FOR AN INVERTER OF AN ELECTRIC DRIVE OF AN ELECTRIC VEHICLE OR A HYBRID VEHICLE AND AN INVERTER FOR AN ELECTRIC DRIVE OF AN ELECTRIC VEHICLE OR A HYBRID VEHICLE

摘要

In a half-bridge module for an inverter, semiconductor switches and signal and power connections are arranged on a first surface of a substrate and coated with a casting compound, and external connection contacts for the signal and power connections extend through the casting compound to the exterior. The external connection contacts may extend from the casting compound from four second surfaces that are orthogonal to the first surface, and may have a first right angle bend outside the casting compound, such that the ends of the external connection contacts are perpendicular to the first surface. The invention also relates to a corresponding inverter.
