Abstract

Miniature fluidic connector that fits into an electrical connector for printed circuit boards with a built-in heat exchanger. Male and female fluidic contacts are mountable in openings in the plug or receptacle of the electrical connector and have respective tips to couple with each other. Upon coupling, the ends of the openings of the plug and the receptacle of the electrical connector are substantially in pressure contact against each other. Preferably, the male and female fluidic contacts have inner chambers adapted to receive self-plugging devices.
