Summary:The present disclosure relates to power modules. The teachings thereof may be embodied in a power unit and/or a drive unit for driving the power unit, along with methods for producing a power module. For example, a power module may include: a power unit including a heat sink; a power device disposed on the heat sink; an insulating layer covering the heat sink and the power device; and a drive unit for driving the power unit, the drive unit comprising a contact element corresponding to the contact area of the power unit. An underside of the power unit is defined by an underside of the heat sink. A top side of the power unit is defined by a contact area thermally and/or electrically coupled to the power device and a surface of the insulating layer surrounding the contact area. The contact element may be disposed abutting the contact area of the power unit for making electrical and/or thermal contact with the power device.
