Abstract

A power semiconductor module including a contact element. One embodiment provides an electrically conductive contact element extending in a longitudinal direction and having a first end and a second end lying opposite the first end. The contact element has a first flange at its first end. The first flange is embodied such that when the contact element is placed with the first flange ahead onto a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal direction, the first flange has with the plane a number of first contact areas spaced apart from one another.
