Abstract
In a bidirectional semiconductor switch which can be switched on and off, printed conductors which form the main term terminals (1, 2) and the control terminals (3, 4) are applied to a baseplate (9). Applied to the printed conductors, which form the main terminals (1, 2), are at least two reverse-blocking semiconductor components (5a-h) which can be switched on and off. The control electrodes (8a, 8e) and the second main electrodes (7a, 7e) of the semiconductor components (5a-h) are interconnected in such a way that the semiconductor switch has the required bidirectional switching function.
