  • Publication number: 20260088684
    Abstract: A control module for a high-power electric motor may include a metal base, an insulating wall fastened to the metal base, and a circuit board disposed within the insulating wall. The circuit board may include a first surface that faces the metal base and a second surface opposite the first surface. A plurality of power switches may be mounted on the first surface of the circuit board and configured as an inverter circuit. A thermally conductive electrically insulating layer may be between the circuit board and the metal base. Power output terminals may be mounted on the second surface of the circuit board. An insulating frame may extend between at least one pair of the power output terminals. One or more fasteners may be received through the insulating frame, the circuit board, and the thermally conductive electrically insulating layer and fastened to the metal base.
