The invention concerns a power electronic arrangement comprising an insulating substrate, a cooling element arranged beneath the insulating substrate and one or more power electronic components disposed on a respective metallization surface of the insulating substrate. Disposed on the surface of the insulating substrate is a metal layer portion which projects beyond the insulating substrate at all sides. The region of the metal layer portion, that projects beyond the insulating substrate, forms a metal flange which borders the insulating substrate. The cooling element, on its side towards the insulating substrate, beneath the insulating substrate, has one or more recesses, whereby a cavity delimited by the insulating substrate and wall surfaces of the one or more recesses is formed beneath the insulating substrate for receiving a liquid cooling agent. The metal flange is further connected to the cooling element.
