Abstract
A power semiconductor module includes a package having a first package portion and a second package portion. The side of the first package portion facing the second package portion has an anchoring element with a first recess. The second package portion includes a second recess with an indentation which receives the anchoring element. To produce a mechanically firm connection between the first package portion and the second package portion, a plug-in element is inserted in the first recess and the second recess. The plug-in element displaces the anchoring element transversely with respect to the plug-in direction, causing the anchoring element to engage the indentation so that a form-fit connection is produced between the first package portion and the second package portion. The plug-in element prevents the anchoring element from disengaging the indentation.
