Abstract: An inverter for an electric motor may include a capacitor board and at least one electrically conductive contacting unit. The capacitor board may include at least one capacitor and at least one transistor board. The capacitor board and the at least one transistor board may be aligned transversely to a longitudinal direction. The capacitor board and the at least one transistor board may be electrically interconnected. The at least one electrically conductive contacting unit may be configured to contact at least one electrically conductive phase terminal of the motor. The at least one contacting unit may be connected to the at least one transistor board in an electrically conductive manner. The at least one contacting unit may be resilient in the longitudinal direction.

Abstract: An inverter for an electric motor is disclosed. The inverter includes a capacitor board including at least one capacitor, at least one transistor board, and a cooling element. The capacitor board and the at least one transistor board are electrically interconnected. The capacitor board and the at least one transistor board are each aligned transversely to a longitudinal central axis of the inverter. The cooling element is pot-shaped and provides a housing of the inverter that receives the capacitor board and the at least one transistor board.
