Abstract: A semiconductor package includes a first semiconductor die, an encapsulant body of electrically insulating mold compound that encapsulates the first semiconductor die, a plurality of power leads that protrude out of the encapsulant body and form power connections with the first semiconductor die, and a signal lead that protrudes out of the encapsulant body and forms a signal connection with the first semiconductor die, wherein the signal lead comprises a lead adapter retention feature that is configured to form an interlocked connection with a lead adapter that is fitted over an outer end of the signal lead.

Abstract: A power semiconductor module includes: first and second substrates; at least one power semiconductor die arranged between and thermally coupled to a first side of each substrate, and electrically coupled to the first side of the first substrate; at least one rivet having a first end arranged on and electrically coupled to the first side of the first substrate; and an encapsulant encapsulating the at least one power semiconductor die, the at least one rivet and the substrates. At least parts of a second side of the substrates are exposed from the encapsulant. A second end of the at least one rivet is exposed at the encapsulant and configured to accept a press fit pin such that the at least one power semiconductor die can be electrically contacted from the outside.
