Abstract

The invention relates to a module (1) in which voltages greater than 1,000 V and currents greater than 100 A are applied via supply lines, with an electrically insulating carrier (2), with a connection means (3) which has a material thickness greater than 0.3 mm and is connected to the carrier (2) via a metallization area (4) which is delimited by a first end (23) and a second end (24), with electronic components (19, 20) which are connected to the connection means (3) as required, and with cooling means (14).In order that the power is supplied from the outside via the connection means (3) directly to the module and thus the bonding processes that are customary in the prior art are omitted and parasitic inductances on the power supply are avoided, the invention proposes that the connection means (3) protrudes beyond one end (23, 24) of the metallization area (4) at least at one point, is not fixed to the carrier (2) in this area (9) and has contact means (22).
