Definitions

• the invention relates to a semiconductor arrangement with at least two semiconductor elements, at least one of which is controllable, in the form of semiconductor tablets provided with electrodes, insulated or passivated on the edge side, which are electrically connected to one another and arranged in a common housing, wherein two main connections as anode and cathode connections and, when the semiconductor elements are connected in series, a further main connection as center tap and the control connections are led out of the housing on one side.
• controllable and non-controllable semiconductor components i.e. Thyristors 5 and diodes can be combined in a housing to form a so-called module.
• the two semiconductor elements are arranged in parallel, antiparallel or in series.
• two main connections are used, for example as anode and cathode
• connection led out of the housing.
• a third main connection is provided as a center tap.
• the main connections are in a row and the center tap is spatially arranged at the end of this row.
• This arrangement has the advantage that e.g. when using two modules, each with two semiconductor elements connected in series to build a full-wave rectifier bridge, the center taps for the connection of the AC lines are easily accessible.
