An electrical converter having pluggable converter components includes a first electronic assembly having electronic parts an assembly carrier, a housing chassis and a housing cover, wherein at least one of the electronic parts is a power semiconductor switch having a wide band gap and made of GaN or of InGaN. The power semiconductor switch is operated with a reverse bias of at least 400 V and at a clock frequency of at least 40 kHz during operation of the electrical converter. The first electronic assembly is mechanically plugged into the assembly carrier by connecting elements, and the first electronic assembly together with the assembly carrier is mechanically plugged and locked by further connecting elements to the housing chassis or to the housing cover using corresponding locking elements on the housing chassis or to the housing cover, respectively.
