  • Low inductance power module
    Patent number: 8466541
    Abstract: A power module includes a housing, a power semiconductor die enclosed within the housing and a first power terminal embedded in the housing and electrically connected to the power semiconductor die. A portion of the first power terminal protrudes outward from an external surface of the housing. The power module further includes a second power terminal embedded in the housing and electrically connected to the power semiconductor die and electrically insulated from the first power terminal. A portion of the second power terminal protrudes outward from the external surface of the housing by a distance less than the portion of the first power terminal so that the module has power connections with different heights.
    Type: Grant
