Power electronic switching device and power semiconductor module therewith

A power electronic switching device, comprising:

• a substrate (2), a power semiconductor component arranged thereupon and having a load connection device (3);
• the substrate (2) incorporating a plurality of mutually electrically-insulated printed conductors (20);
• the load connection device (3) further comprising:
• at least a first and a second partial connection device (30, 40), having mutually corresponding, contact surfaces (32, 42) and being interconnected by at least one of a force-fitted interconnection and a materially-bonded interconnection on portions of the contact surfaces (32, 42) in an electrically conductive manner;
• wherein at least said first partial connection device (30) has a first contact device (36) which is connected by at least one of a force-fitting and a materially-bonding to the printed conductor (20) of the substrate (2);
• and
• wherein a second partial connection device (40) has a second contact device (46) for a further connection of an external load connection device.
