Abstract:
A cooling arrangement (30a, 30b) for a power semiconductor module (10) comprises a thermally emitting surface (22) in thermal contact with at least one power semiconductor (16) of the power semiconductor module (10); a cooling body (24) in thermal contact with the thermally emitting surface (22) adapted for dissipating heat generated by the at least one power semiconductor (16); and a thermally conducting body (26a, 26b), which is arranged between the thermally emitting surface (22) and the cooling body (24), such that the heat emitted from the thermally emitting surface (22) is conducted via the thermally conducting body (26a, 26b) to the cooling body (24). The thermally conducting body (26a, 26b) comprises at least one foil (32, 32a, 32b) and a plastically deformable material (34) adapted for conduction heat, which is prevented to leak from the cooling arrangement (30a, 30b) by the at least one foil (32, 32a, 32b).
