Abstract

A power electronic arrangement having a power semiconductor module and an external load-connecting element is provided with the external load-connecting element has a first connection device, and the power semiconductor module has a housing, a base plate and an internal load-connecting element with a second connection device, wherein the base plate has a first cut out through which the first connection device extends into the interior of the power semiconductor module and is connected there in a frictionally locking and electrically conductive fashion to a second connection device of the internal load-connecting element.

Claims (29)

1. A power electronic arrangement, comprising:

a power semiconductor module, and having an external load-connecting element, wherein:

the external load-connecting element has a first connection device;

the power semiconductor module has a housing, a base plate and an internal load-connecting element with a second connection device;

wherein the base plate has a first cut out through which the first connection device extends into an interior of the power semiconductor module and is connected therein a frictionally locking and electrically conductive fashion to the second connection device of the internal load-connecting element.

2. The power electronic arrangement, according to claim 1 , wherein:

the base plate is at least one of a metal body and a metal body in combination with a cooling device.

3. The power electronic arrangement, according to claim 1 , wherein:

an insulating material body, which electrically insulates the base plate with respect to the first connection device, is arranged in the first cut out in the base plate.

4. The power electronic arrangement, according to claim 1 , wherein:

the external load-connecting element is a connection cable with the first connection device which is arranged in a materially bonded, frictionally locking or positively locking fashion.

5. The power electronic arrangement, according to claim 4 , wherein:

the first connection device is a metallic extruded part, and has a first connection means for connecting in a frictionally locking manner to a second connection means.

6. The power electronic arrangement, according to claim 4 , wherein:

a first connection means and a second connection means together form a bayonet connection;

the first connection means is at least one of a thread and a blind hole with an internal thread; and

the second connection means is at least one of a screw nut and a screw arranged with its thread in the thread of the blind hole.

7. The power electronic arrangement, according to claim 1 , wherein:

the external load-connecting element is a connection pin with a first connection means for a frictionally locking connection to a second connection means.

8. The power electronic arrangement, according to claim 1 , wherein:

the housing has a second cut out bounding a feed-through of a tool, and provides a connection portal to connect the first connection device to the second connection device in an electrically conductive fashion by means of an assigned first and second connection means.

9. An electrically powered vehicle ( 9 ), in combination with a power electronic arrangement according to claim 1 , further comprising:

an energy storage device; and

having an electric drive motor as a main drive or auxiliary drive.

10. The electrically powered vehicle, according to claim 9 , wherein:

at least one of the external load-connecting element is a connection pin that is an integral component of a mounting device; and

the external load-connecting element is electrically insulated from a mounting device ( 94 ).

11. The electrically powered vehicle, according to claim 10 , wherein:

the mounting device is an axle drive device.
