1. A power electronics module (PEM) constructed to convert electricity from an input form provided at a PEM input port thereof to an output form provided at a PEM output port thereof, the power electronics module comprising:
a front mounting plate and a rear mounting plate on which the PEM input port and the PEM output port are disposed;
electrical power conversion subcircuits having input and output ports proximal to the front mounting plate;
rigid conductor elements having respective preformed shapes constructed to electrically interconnect the subcircuits at the input and the output ports thereof to form a power conversion circuit selected from among multiple power conversion circuits configurable solely by selection of the conductor elements, the selected power conversion circuit having input and output ports proximal to the front mounting plate;
other rigid conductor elements having respective preformed shapes constructed to electrically interconnect the input port of the selected power conversion circuit to the PEM input port disposed on the rear mounting plate and to interconnect the output port of the selected power conversion circuit to the PEM output port disposed on the rear mounting plate; and
a controller mechanically coupled to the front mounting plate and constructed to operate semiconductor switches in a prescribed timing that converts the electricity of the input form to the electricity of the output form by the selected power conversion circuit.
