The invention relates to an inverter housing for receiving at least one power electronics component (42, 43) of an inverter (4), wherein the housing (41) has walls (411) defining a receiving volume (V) for the at least one power electronics component (42, 43). The housing has at least one pad (47) protruding from an inner surface (412) of the walls (411) into the receiving volume (V), the at least one pad (47) being configured such that, when the at least one component is received in the receiving volume (V), a terminal (421, 422, 432) of this at least one power electronics component (42, 43) or a conducting bar electrically connected to the terminal (421, 422, 432) of the power electronics component (42) faces a free end (472) of the pad (47) at a predetermined distance such that an interface element (48) can be interposed between the free end (472) of the pad (47) and the terminal (421, 422, 432) of the power electronics component (42, 43) or the conducting bar.
An inverter housing for receiving at least one power electronics component of an inverter, the housing comprising walls defining a receiving volume for the at least one power electronics component, wherein it comprises at least one pad protruding from an inner surface of the walls into the receiving volume, the at least one pad being thermally conductive and adapted to drain heat to a cooling system of the inverter, the at least one pad being configured so that, when the at least one component is received in the receiving volume, a terminal of this at least one power electronics component or a conducting bar electrically connected to the terminal of the power electronics component faces a free end of the pad at a predetermined distance so that a thermally conductive interface element can be interposed between the free end of the pad and the terminal of the power electronics component or the conducting bar.
