Abstract
An electronic power circuit includes several power modules ( ) and is especially for controlling an electrical machine. Each power module ( ) includes a plate-shaped integrated electronic circuit arrangement ( ) having several electrical terminals. A perpendicular bent-over electrically conducting side leg ( ) is arranged on each of two opposite-lying sides of the plate-shaped circuit arrangement ( ). The side leg ( ) forms an electrical contact and, in this way, the power module ( ) has a U-shaped cross section. Each side leg ( ) is provided with connecting elements via which two or several power modules ( ) can be electrically and mechanically fixedly connected to each other while forming a mutual spacing between the plate-shaped circuit arrangement ( ) via the side legs ( ) for forming the electronic power circuit.
