The power semiconductor module includes a plurality of capacitors coupled in parallel with each other. Each of the plurality of capacitors each includes a first and a second connection element. The power semiconductor module further includes a first and a second busbar. The first connection element of each of the plurality of capacitors is bonded to the first busbar, and the second connection element of each of the plurality of capacitors is bonded to the second busbar. The power semiconductor module further includes an insulating element disposed between the first busbar and the second busbar, and a pressure assembly that includes at least one pressure body and one associated counterpart pressure body. The first connection element and the second connection element of each of the plurality of capacitors is subjected to pressure and electrically bonded to the associated busbars by the pressure assembly. | InventorsAssigneeApplicationNo. 11603606 filed on 11/22/2006US Classes:361/775BusbarField of Search361/763, Capacitor and electrical component361/764, Integrated circuit361/765, By direct coating of components on board361/766, Capacitor and resistor361/775, Busbar361/822, Contact banks361/823, Terminal block361/824, With protective device or unit361/825, Support brackets361/826, Wire distribution (e.g., harness, rack, etc.)361/827, With interconnecting cable361/828, With switchboard or switch361/829, Frame361/830, With plurality of capacitors361/700, Change of physical state361/701, With heat exchanger unit361/702, With cold plate or heat sink361/703, With cooling fins361/704, Thermal conduction361/705, By specific coating361/706, Containing silicon or aluminum361/707, Through support means361/708, Specific chemical compound or element361/709, Heat sink361/710, Details257/690, With contact or lead257/691, Having power distribution means (e.g., bus structure)257/692, With particular lead geometry439/76.1, Within distinct housing spaced from panel circuit arrangement439/76.2Automotive junction boxExaminersPrimary: Dinh, Tuan TAttorney, Agent or FirmUS Patent References5822189, Electrical connection box, a connection construction, a busbar fixing construction and a connection terminalIssued on: 10/13/1998 Inventor: Isshiki6249448Electronic power device and electronic power assembly comprising such a device Issued on: 06/19/2001 Inventor: Regnier, et al.
