Abstract: An electronic module is provided with a housing with a base and walls extending transversely from the base. The housing comprises an inlet port and an outlet port formed through the walls. A circuit board assembly is supported by the housing and includes electronics that generate heat during operation. A cold plate is mounted to the walls of the housing to define a manifold. The housing and the cold plate are in thermal communication with the circuit board assembly for transferring heat generated by the electronics. A baffle is disposed within the manifold for directing coolant flow. Elastic material is disposed over a distal end of the baffle and adapted to engage a lower surface of the cold plate in an interference fit to block coolant leakage.

Abstract: An assembly includes an electrical component; a bus bar assembly connected with the electrical component; and a cooling member connected with the bus bar assembly, the cooling member including: a tubular member; and a cover enclosing portions of the tubular member, the cover comprising thermally conductive and electrically insulating material. The enclosed portions of the tubular member may include a non-circular cross-section.

Abstract: In at least one embodiment, a transformer assembly including a bobbin, a first winding and a second winding is provided. The bobbin defines a first chamber, a second chamber, and a gap. The first winding is positioned in the first chamber. The second winding is positioned in the second chamber. The gap separates the first chamber from the second chamber to cause the first winding and the second winding to generate a leakage inductance such that the leakage inductance and a capacitance of a capacitor that is operably coupled to the transformer assembly generate a resonant frequency to enable inductive mode charging with a vehicle pad.

Abstract: A heat conductor for use with an inverter in an electric or hybrid-electric vehicle, the inverter including a direct current link capacitor having multiple film capacitors configured in a stack to form a substantially polygonal prism. Each film capacitor has orthotropic characteristics. The heat conductor has a first substantially planar member configured to contact a first side of the polygonal prism formed by one of the film capacitors, and a second substantially planar member configured to contact a second side of the polygonal prism opposite the first side of the rectangular prism, the second side of the rectangular prism formed by another one of the film capacitors. The first and second planar member are thermally conductive for dissipating heat generated by the film capacitors, are attached by an interconnect, and have sufficient rigidity to confine expansion of the film capacitors across the thicknesses thereof.

Abstract: An electromagnetic device arrangement includes a transformer assembly having a core, windings, and a housing disposed around at least a portion of the core and windings. An enclosure at least partially encloses the transformer assembly. The transformer assembly is mounted to a first portion of the enclosure such that heat is transferred from the transformer assembly to the first portion of the enclosure. A second portion of the enclosure has an extension extending therefrom such that the extension is placed in thermal contact with the transformer assembly to transfer heat from the transformer assembly to the extension.
