Abstract
A half-bridge having power connections and signal connections shaped from a leadframe, the signal connections electrically connected to semiconductor switching elements so that they can be switched by the signal connections, and the power connections are electrically connected to the switching elements in so that they switch an electrical power transmission between the power connections. The switching elements are embedded in a modular layer system including a contact-connection plane and a metallization for contact-connecting the switching elements, the signal connections and the power connections are arranged on a first surface of the substrate. The modular layer system, the signal connections and the power connections are potted with a potting compound, and external sections of the power connections and/or signal connections shaped in the leadframe extend out of the potting compound from a second surface orthogonal to the first surface, the external sections having ends that are perpendicular to the first surface.
