A semiconductor component including a housing for a semiconductor substrate, an anode, a cathode, an annular gate electrode flange, which laterally protrudes from the housing and concentrically surrounds the housing, and an annular auxiliary cathode flange, which protrudes from the housing and makes contact with the cathode.

Gate controlled thyristor driven with low-inductance

In a semiconductor clamped stack, in particular for high-power converters, a plurality of power semiconductor components are arranged alternately together with water-cooled cooling cans in a stack. A clear arrangement of all the components and supplies is achieved, and defective semiconductor components can be replaced more easily, in that a molding (10) according to the invention is used for holding in each case one heat sink and one power semiconductor component. Rails and latching-in fasteners are provided for guiding and holding the latter.
