Semiconductor power module with connection pins

摘要

The semiconductor module has a housing with a housing wall (2) and a base (1) supporting a number of semiconductor elements (5). The housing wall has externally projecting terminal pins (9) provided by the upper part of a connection lead (7) which is coupled to the semiconductor element on the inside of the housing. The part of the connection lead on the inside of the housing has a rectangular cross-section, with a greater cross-sectional surface than the sum of the cross- sections of the terminal pins.
