Abstract

A fluid cooled heat sink is provided for use in cooling high power semiconductor devices. The heat sink includes a body formed of thermally conductive material having internal fluid passageways. Cooling fluid from an external source is passed through the heat sink. The preferred heat sink includes a pair of manifolds and means cooperating with the manifolds to allow selective interconnection of the interior passageways of the heat sink.
