Abstract: The disclosure relates to an apparatus for connecting an electronic component to a conductor. A housing includes at least one slot and defines at least one component chamber for carrying the electronic component. A liquid coolant can pass through the housing. A pair of conductive members extends from the housing through the at least one slot and can be releasably inserted into a channel defined in a support assembly. The support assembly facilitates an electrical connection between the conductive members and corresponding conductive contact members connected to a respective power supply or electrical load. The support assembly can provide an inward sealing force to a seal on the housing circumscribing the pair of conductive members.

Abstract: A modular power overlay architecture includes at least two sets of power overlay tiles arranged to provide for or meet a desired power overlay architecture demand. The power overlay assembly can include a base having seats to receive the power overlay tiles. The power overlay tiles can include power switching components arranged relative to a conductive surface commonly arranged relative to each of the at least two sets of power overlay tiles.

Abstract: A modular POL component can be arranged to define a half-bridge converter topology, and can be coupled with other modular POL power components to define a full-bridge or 3-phase AC converter topology based on a desired power output. The assembled POL components can be mounted on a common electrically insulative substrate to define a POL power conversion device to provide the desired power output.
