  • Electronic component connector cooling device
    Patent number: 11963328
    Abstract: An electronic component connector cooling device can include a base portion and a conduit portion extending from the base portion. The conduit portion can have a cooling channel. The electronic component connector cooling device can further include a housing coupling interface formed in the base portion and operable to facilitate coupling the electronic component connector cooling device to a housing that at least partially forms an enclosure about an electronic component. The electronic component connector cooling device can also include a connector coupling interface formed in the base portion and operable to facilitate coupling a connector to the electronic component connector cooling device. The connector can operably connect the electronic component to a component external to the enclosure. The electronic component connector cooling device can further include an inlet port formed in the conduit portion and in fluid communication with the cooling channel.
