  • Patent number: 11653473
    Abstract: An apparatus includes a coldplate and a bus bar. The coldplate is configured to be thermally coupled to a structure to be cooled and to remove thermal energy from the structure. The bus bar is integrated into the coldplate and is configured to deliver power to multiple components of the structure. The apparatus may also include multiple mounting holes positioned in rows on the coldplate and configured to mechanically couple the structure to the coldplate, where one of the bus bar or an additional bus bar is integrated between each pair of adjacent rows of mounting holes. The apparatus may further include sealed cooling channels adjacent to the bus bar and each additional bus bar. The bus bar may be integrated into the coldplate using vacuum brazing or ultrasonic additive manufacturing.
