The inventive electronic power module is provided for effecting the smooth starting of motors. The module essentially includes two semiconductor elements, which are connected in an electrically anti-parallel manner and which are clamped between two metal bars, having a high thermal capacity, e.g. made of copper, by a pressing device. After being intermediately stored in the metal bars, the heat loss of the semiconductor elements is dissipated by cooling bodies placed on the metal bars.

An insulating element insulates a contact area of an electronic component from other contact areas of the component. In order to ensure an assembly that is as trouble-free as possible as well as a trouble-free operation, the insulation element has at least on a first section, which is accommodated inside a contact recess of a contact during operation, is provided with an outer contour that enables an accommodation with the utmost smallest amount of play inside the contact recess.
