Abstract

A power semiconductor module includes a substrate and a two-part cooling system arranged under the substrate. The cooling system has upper and lower pieces. The upper piece forms a flow channel with the substrate for a cooling liquid. The upper piece has a first inflow and an outflow, through which the cooling liquid can be introduced into the flow channel and removed. The upper piece also has at least one second inflow, which is spaced apart from the first inflow in a longitudinal direction. The lower piece has an inlet and an outlet, the outlet being connected to the outflow and the inlet being connected to the first inflow. The lower piece also has a channel branching off from the inlet, which includes at least one bypass channel, which is connected to the second inflow, so part of the cooling liquid passes through the bypass channel into the flow channel.
