  • Publication number: 20030112605
    Abstract: A power module has a circuit carrier that, on its upper side is coated with a structured metal layer and mounted with power components. The power components are driven by flat conductors, the inner flat-conductor ends of which interact, via thermocompression heads, with contact-connection surfaces, while the outer flat-conductor ends project out of the housing of the power module. A process is described for producing the power module.
