Abstract: An electrical connector assembly includes a connector housing and a busbar having a rectangular cross section defining two opposed major surfaces and two opposed minor surfaces disposed within the connector housing. A planar surface is defined by one of the two opposed major surfaces of the busbar. The electrical connector assembly further includes a cooling plate that is sized, shaped, and arranged to be in conductive thermal contact with the planar surface of the busbar. The cooling plate is configured to reduce a temperature of the busbar.

Abstract: An electrical connector assembly includes a connector housing defining a cavity in which an electrical busbar is disposed. The connector housing defines an opening to the cavity. The electrical connector assembly also includes a cover configured to enclose the cavity. The cover has an inlet port, an outlet port, and a coolant channel that is in fluidic communication with the inlet port and the outlet port. A portion of the cover is in intimate thermal contact with the electrical busbar.
