Abstract
A contact device for use with a power semiconductor component in a power semiconductor module or a disc-type thyristor, the module or thyristor having a molded body with a first recess disposed above the component. The contact device makes electrical contact with the auxiliary connection of the component, and is disposed within a second recess in the module or thyristor. The contact device includes a spring having a pin-like extension at a first end thereof that faces the component and a metal molded body that is arranged at the opposite end thereof and has a first connecting device formed as a flat section of the metal molded body. The flat section is arranged generally parallel to the component, and has a second connecting device for connection to a connecting cable. The connecting device may also have a multipart insulating housing for holding the contact spring and the metal molded body.
