Mechanical and electrical connection is established between a power-electronics structural element and a circuit board. The circuit board has a bore and an electrical contact area encircles the bore. The power-electronics structural element has a mechanical fastening option and an electrical contact area encircles this fastening option at a point to be connected to the circuit board. A cylinder with a head on one end is inserted into the bore of the circuit board to achieve the mechanical connection, and a sleeve formed from an electrically conductive material surrounds the cylinder. Electrical contact areas of the power-electronics structural element and the circuit board are connected electrically by the sleeve. The mechanical connection is formed by an interlocking connection of the cylinder and the fastening option of the power-electronics structural element.
A method for establishing a mechanical and an electrical connection between a power-electronics structural element and a circuit board, the power-electronics structural element having a mechanical fastening option at a point that is to be connected mechanically and electrically to the circuit board and an electrical contact area that encircles the mechanical fastening option, the method comprising:
