1. A semiconductor switching module, comprising:
- a housing, the housing including openings, which are sealed by thin walls during normal operation of the semiconductor switching module, to carry away pressure which occurs in a case of a short circuit, the thin walls being dimensioned to be at least one of destroyed and removed by the pressure which occurs in the case of a short circuit, and the openings being further dimensioned so that parts which carry current cannot be touched from outside of the semiconductor switching module.

Abstract
A semiconductor switching module including a housing having openings to remove pressure which occurs during a short circuit. The housing openings, which can be sealed by thin walls dimensioned so that so that parts which carry current cannot be touched from outside and the walls can be destroyed or removed by the pressure which occurs during a short circuit.
