  • Patent number: 9058932
    Abstract: A capacitor system and a method for producing a capacitor system. The capacitor system may be used in a power semiconductor module. In one embodiment, the capacitor system comprises a metal shaped body having a depression; a capacitor arranged at least partly in the depression; a spacer composed of electrically insulating material, the spacer being arranged at least partly between the capacitor and the metal shaped body in the depression; and an electrically insulating potting material provided in the depression, wherein the potting material fixes the capacitor in the depression so that the capacitor does not touch the metal shaped body.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8368207
    Abstract: A pressure-contact power semiconductor module is arranged on a heat sink. The power semiconductor module is used with at least one substrate provided with conductor tracks and power semiconductor components. The module has a mounting body, on the underside of which the at least one substrate is arranged, and which is formed with cutouts. The module also includes a load connection element which is provided with contact feet that project away from strip sections and make pressure contact with the conductor tracks. The power semiconductor module additionally has a dimensionally stable cover, which covers the mounting body on all sides and is connected to the mounting body by means of snap-action latching connections. At least one pad element is restrained between the cover and the strip sections of the load connection elements.
