Abstract
The invention concerns a power electronic module comprising two individual modules (1) each comprising a power electronic component (5) having a contact face (6) mounted on a metallic face (7) of a substrate (8), power connections (11, 13, 20) a metallic heat exchanger (2) mounted on the other face (12) of the substrate (8). In accordance with the invention the two individual modules (1) are face to face, the power electronic component (5) of one individual module (1) facing the power electronic component (5) of the other individual module (1), and separated from each other by at least one spacer (3) comprising control leads (14) for controlling the individual modules (1) and power leads (13) for transmitting power to the individual modules (1) or between individual modules (1).
