The invention relates to a circuit arrangement with an electronic power switch, a capacitor and a plate-shaped direct current laminate. The direct current laminate includes two metal plates insulated from one another for carrying current and multiple connection elements arranged so to electrically connect the metal plates to the capacitor. The capacitor is electrically connected by the connection elements to the direct current laminate, and the capacitor is on one side of the direct current laminate. This circuit arrangement has a significantly reduced space requirement and simultaneously improved scalability. This is achieved because the direct current laminate additionally has multiple connection elements arranged so to connect the direct current laminate to the electronic power switch of the circuit arrangement. The electronic power switch is electrically connected by the connection elements to the direct current laminate and is arranged on the opposing side of the direct current laminate.
