  • Publication number: 20200282851
    Abstract: A charging system for an electric vehicle is described. The charging system for an electric vehicle can have a power supply, a charging cable, a connector, and a cooling system. The charging cable can have a coolant conduit routed through the charging cable. The charging cable can also have a coolant return path formed within the charging cable jacket. The cooling system can pump coolant through the coolant conduit and coolant return path to remove heat from the charging cable during a charging process.

  • Patent number: 9642276
    Abstract: In a method of manufacturing an electronic device a transistor having respective input, output and control leads extending parallel to each other is positioned; first and second busbar layers are placed relative to the transistor so that a first tab extending from the first opening aligns with and contacts one of the input and output leads, and so that a second tab extending from the second opening aligns with and contacts another one of the input and output leads; the first tab and one of the input and output leads are welded; a circuit board is placed parallel to the busbar layers so that the control lead and the first and second tabs extend through corresponding openings in the circuit board; and the control lead and the at least one of the first and second tabs are soldered to one or more circuits on the circuit board.
