Abstract

Apparatus for cooling a plurality of electrical components mounted to a circuit board includes a base plate mounted in proximate relation to component sites on the circuit board at which electrical components are mounted. The base plate includes alignment elements that engage a alignment plate. The electrical components are carried by the alignment plate so that when the alignment plate is installed on the base plate, engaging the alignment elements, the electrical components are registered to and installed at corresponding component sites in a manner that aligns electrical leads of the components to printed circuit pads at the component sites. The base plate and alignment plate are sealed, and a coolant circulated therethrough.
