A power module includes at least one carrier body for mounting at least one power component thereon, and at least one energy storage component. For this purpose, a hybrid circuit is arranged as a thick film circuit on at least one of the carrier bodies, and the hybrid circuit includes at least one thick film resistor as a discharging resistor for discharging the at least one energy storage component. The power module is adapted for use as a power converter for electric motors.

Power module

A power module is suggested having a simple and cost-effective arrangement and ensuring a reliable operation. To this end, a circuit arrangement comprising at least one electronic component is arranged on a carrier body. A conductor pattern is formed on the top side of the carrier body, and a structured cooling element made of the material of the carrier body, is provided on the bottom side. The invention also relates to a power module as power converter for electric motors.
