Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Various embodiments include an electrical assembly with: an electronic switching element electrically contacted on an underside and arranged on a flexible first wiring support; wherein the electronic switching element is electrically contacted on an upper side lying opposite the lower side; and a second wiring support arranged lying opposite the first wiring support on the upper side electrical contacting area of the electronic switching element. The first wiring support and the second wiring support each comprise a permanently elastic, electrically insulating, thermally conductive material.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. An electrical assembly comprising: a first wiring support with a first set of electrical contacts disposed on a layer of insulation; an electronic switching element arranged with a first side in contact with the first set of electrical contacts; a second wiring support with a second set of electrical contacts disposed on a layer of insulation, the second wiring support arranged opposite the first wiring support, the second set of electrical contacts in contact with a second side of the electronic switching element; and a force applied across the first wiring support and the second wiring support to compress the electronic switching element therebetween; wherein the layer of insulation for the first wiring support and the second wiring support each comprise a sheet of permanently elastic, electrically insulating, thermally conductive material; and wherein respective contacts between the electronic switching element and the respective sets of electrical contacts do not comprise any mechanical bonds. 2. The electrical assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the electronic switching element comprises a power semiconductor. 3. The electrical assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the permanently elastic material of the first wiring support and/or of the second wiring support is pressed onto a metallic support. 4. The electrical assembly as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the metallic support comprises a cooling element for dissipating heat from the electrical assembly. 5. The electrical assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the permanently elastic material of the first wiring support and/or the second wiring support comprises a polysiloxane and at least one of metal oxide particles or ceramic particles.
