Abstract: An electronic assembly includes a flexible printed circuit board (PCB) circumferentially disposed around a motor and a thermal management assembly (TMA) thermally connected to the flexible PCB. One or more switching semiconductor devices are disposed on a first surface of the flexible PCB. The TMA includes a cooling jacket, at least one jacket manifold formed through the cooling jacket and a thermal compensation base layer thermally coupled to the cooling jacket. The cooling jacket is mounted around a circumference of the motor and has a mounting surface concentric with the circumference of the motor. The mounting surface is coupled to the first surface of the flexible PCB. The at least one jacket manifold has a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet defining a fluid flow area therebetween. The thermal compensation base layer is thermally coupled to the cooling jacket and the one or more switching semiconductor devices.

Abstract: An integrated power control assembly mounted on an axial end of a three-phase motor includes a substrate, two input busbars each of positive and negative polarities alternatively spaced apart on the substrate, a plurality of sets of paired devices, and three output busbars corresponding to the three phases of the motor, wherein a set of paired devices includes a switching semiconductor and a diode. An inner input busbar has edges adjacent to an inner input busbar of opposite polarity and an outer input busbar of opposite polarity and configured to have at least twice as many devices as the outer input busbars. One or more sets of paired devices are disposed axially on outer input busbars and on inner input busbars along the edges. An individual output busbar is disposed over and electrically coupled to one or more sets of paired devices disposed on adjacent input busbars of opposite polarity.

Abstract: Thermal management assemblies for cooling an electronic assembly disposed on a PCB are disclosed. The thermal management assembly includes a heatsink, a heatsink manifold formed through the heatsink and a thermal compensation base layer coupled to the heatsink. The heatsink manifold has a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet. The thermal compensation base layer thermally connects the heatsink and the electronic assembly. The thermal management assembly further includes a cooling manifold disposed through the PCB to form a fluid flow path. Two or more electrically insulated posts are disposed between the heatsink manifold and the cooling manifold. Individual electrically insulated posts have a vertical cooling channel. At least one electrically insulated post fluidly connects the fluid inlet to the cooling manifold to form an upward fluid path. At least one electrically insulated post fluidly connects the cooling manifold to the fluid outlet to form a downward fluid path.
