Abstract
An electrified vehicle thermal management system includes, among other things, a transmission, an inverter, and a terminal block disposed between the transmission and the inverter. The terminal block includes a conduit configured to deliver transmission fluid from the transmission to the inverter. An electrified vehicle thermal management method includes circulating a transmission fluid between a transmission, a terminal block, and an inverter, and using the transmission fluid to manage thermal energy within the inverter.
