Power module comprising positioning structures, alignment tool and method for positioning and aligning the power module

A method for aligning a power module, comprising at least one module component, with respect to an assembly board using an alignment tool comprising:

• positioning a side surface of the power module at a side surface of the alignment tool, wherein the side surface of the alignment tool comprises alignment structures, wherein at least one of the alignment structures is configured for docking at least one positioning structure on the side surface of the power module,
• inserting the at least one positioning structure into the at least one alignment structure or inserting the at least one alignment structure into the at least one positioning structure for aligning the power module with respect to the assembly board, resulting in a sliding of the alignment tool along a lateral direction with respect to the power module, wherein the sliding of the alignment tool along the lateral direction is accompanied by a controlled movement of the power module along a vertical direction with respect to the assembly board, and after the power module is aligned to the assembly board, the alignment tool is released from the power module,
• wherein
• the at least one positioning structure has at least in places a vertically oblique or vertically curved surface, and/or
• the at least one positioning structure is formed on a side surface of the at least one module component.
