Zusammenfassung:The invention relates to a thermoelectric module for thermoelectric current generation, in particular in an exhaust gas system of an internal combustion engine, with a base plate and a plurality of thermocouples each with two legs, the thermocouples being electrically connected in series and mounted on the base plate. The invention provides that the base plate consists of a metallic material. This enables a low-cost production, allows substantially larger formats and makes the thermoelectric module mechanically much less sensitive than a conventional base plate made of ceramic. Furthermore, the invention includes a corresponding production method.
