ABSTRACT:
Systems and apparatus are provided for an inverter module for use in a vehicle. The inverter module comprises a first electrical base and a second electrical base each having an electrically conductive mounting surface, wherein the electrical bases are physically distinct and electrically coupled. A first semiconductor switch has a surface terminal that is coupled to the electrically conductive mounting surface of the first electrical base. A second semiconductor switch has a surface terminal that is coupled to the electrically conductive mounting surface of the first electrical base. A first semiconductor diode and a second semiconductor diode each have a surface terminal, the surface terminals are coupled to the electrically conductive mounting surface of the second electrical base. The first semiconductor switch and first semiconductor diode are antiparallel, and the second semiconductor switch and second semiconductor diode are antiparallel.
