A power semiconductor module includes: an electrically insulative frame having opposite first and second mounting sides, and a border that defines a periphery of the electrically insulative frame; a first substrate seated in the electrically insulative frame; a plurality of power semiconductor dies attached to the first substrate; a plurality of signal pins attached to the first substrate and electrically connected to the power semiconductor dies; a plurality of busbars attached to the first substrate and extending through the border of the electrically insulative frame; a plurality of fixing positions at the first mounting side of the electrically insulative frame; and a plurality of electrically insulative protrusions jutting out from the second mounting side of the electrically insulative frame, wherein the protrusions are vertically aligned with the fixing positions. Methods of producing the power semiconductor module and power electronic assemblies that incorporate the power semiconductor module are also described.
