Abstract: A temperature sensor for an inverter for operating an electric drive in an electric vehicle or hybrid vehicle includes at least one rod-shaped signal connector, a mount, and a sensor printed circuit board, wherein at least one groove is formed in the mount for the at least one rod-shaped signal connector, wherein the at least one rod-shaped signal connector has an insertion part that is inserted in a printed circuit board in the inverter, wherein the insertion part extends beyond an upper edge of the mount facing the printed circuit board, wherein the at least one rod-shaped signal connector extends at the bottom beyond a lower edge of the mount facing away from the printed circuit board, wherein a sensor element for temperature detection is placed on an end of the sensor printed circuit board facing away from the printed circuit board.

Abstract: An inverter includes a DC input, a link capacitor including a plurality of input contacts fitted to a capacitor housing, a plurality of half-bridges, each including semiconductor switching elements for converting the DC current into an AC current having a plurality of phase currents, wherein the half-bridges are arranged in a row along a transverse direction to the inverter, a positive DC conductor rail and a negative DC conductor rail for the infeed of DC current to the half-bridges, wherein the positive and/or negative DC conductor rail extends in a transverse direction to the inverter over the row of half-bridges, such that the width of the positive and/or negative DC conductor rail extends to the width of the row of half-bridges, an AC conductor rail assembly for the output of AC current to the electric drive, and a cooler for cooling the half-bridges.
