Abstract: The invention relates to a circuit arrangement (1) comprising an electrical and/or electronic circuit unit (10), which comprises a circuit carrier (14), on which at least one electrical and/or electronic component (12) is arranged, and at least one connection region (5) with at least one contact unit (14.2) for electrically contact-connecting the electrical and/or electronic circuit unit (10) to other electrical and/or electronic structural units, wherein at least one region of the circuit unit (10) is arranged in a housing unit (20) sealed relative to the surroundings. According to the invention, the housing unit (20) comprises a protective compound which surrounds the at least one region of the circuit unit (10) in a sealing fashion and surrounds the at least one connection region (5) in such a way that the at least one contact unit (14.2) is embedded at least at its side areas into the protective compound (22).

Abstract: A circuit board cooler employs a closed fluid delivery system to transfer heat from electronic components to a cooling fluid. One or more channels embedded within the circuit board carry cooling fluid to the components where the fluid absorbs heat from the component, then away from the component to deposit the excess thermal energy in a thermal sink, such as a heat exchanger. The cooling system may employ conductive thermal transfer elements, such as “thermal vias”, to enhance heat transfer from electronic components to the cooling fluid.
