A multiplicity of power semiconductor switching elements of the same type parallel have a load current terminal for a load current input and a load current terminal for a load current output. At least one outer load current terminal and at least one inner load current terminal per load current direction include a load current input and a load current output. At least one contacting device for common electrical contacting all of the load current terminals of the same load current direction includes a load current input and a load current output. The contacting device includes a plurality of terminal tongues which are respectively fastened on an associated load current terminal. The geometry and/or profile of the terminal tongue of an outer load current terminal differs from the geometry and/or profile of the terminal tongue of an inner load current terminal of the same contacting device.
