A power module

Abstract

A power module (100) arranged to receive an input voltage and to deliver an output voltage, comprising a supporting layer (110) with first and second main surfaces (111, 109) and a rim (122) surrounding the main surfaces. The power module (100) also comprises at least one component (112, 113, 114, 115) on or in the supporting layer (110) which protrudes a first perpendicular distance (d1) from one of the main surfaces. The power module (100) additionally comprises connectors (116-119; 120-123) for attaching the power module (100) to an external component (10). The one or more connectors (116-119; 120-123) protrude a second distance (d2) from said rim (122) in a perpendicular direction from one of the main surfaces (111, 109), so that the at least one component is at a predefined distance (d4, d5) from the external component (10) when the power module is attached to the external component (10).
