Power module with improved electrical components

Abstract

A power semiconductor module (1) having two or more semiconductor components (3, 53, 55) which are electrically connected in parallel. The first power contacts (7) of each semiconductor component (3, 53, 55) are electrically connected to a first track (9). The second power contacts (11) of each semiconductor component (3, 53, 55) are electrically connected to a second track (13) by connecting means (15). The connecting means (15) include at least a first connecting element (17) connecting a first semiconductor component (53) of the two or more semiconductor components (3) to the second track (13) via a first contact area (19), and a second connecting element (21) connecting a second semiconductor component (55) of the two or more semiconductor components (3) with the second track (13) by a second contact area (23). The second connecting element (21) partially overlaps the first contact area (19) and/or first connecting element (17).
