Inverter and a motor comprising the inverter

An electric motor, comprising:

• an inverter;
• a motor body;
• and
• at least one electrically conductive phase terminal extending axially towards the inverter at least in some regions;
• the inverter including:
• a capacitor board including at least one capacitor and at least one transistor board, the capacitor board and the at least one transistor board electrically interconnected and each oriented transversely to a longitudinal direction;
• and
• at least one electrically conductive contacting unit connected to the at least one transistor board in an electrically conductive manner, the at least one contacting unit resilient in the longitudinal direction;
• wherein a longitudinal end of the inverter, which faces the motor body, is axially attached to the motor body;
• and
• wherein the at least one contacting unit is contacted in an electrically conductive manner with the at least one phase terminal.

An inverter for an electric motor, comprising:

• a capacitor board;
• a plurality of capacitors arranged symmetrically in a circle on the capacitor board;
• and
• a plurality of transistor boards electrically connected to the capacitor board, the plurality of transistor boards arranged radially outside the plurality of capacitors and distributed evenly around the plurality of capacitors in a circumferential direction;
• a plurality of electrically conductive contacting units each configured to contact an associated electrically conductive phase terminal of the motor, the plurality of contacting units each connected to an associated transistor board of the plurality of transistor boards in an electrically conductive manner;
• and
• wherein the plurality of contacting units are resilient in an axial direction and are configured to press against the associated transistor board when subjected to an axial pressing force.
