Abstract

An electric component arrangement is described, comprising a semiconductor component (1) and a varistor body (2), which is contact-connected to the semiconductor component in order to protect the latter against electrostatic discharges. The semiconductor component and the varistor body are arranged on a common carrier (3) containing a highly thermally conductive ceramic.
