A flat tube cold plate assembly has a channel plate having an opening therethrough defining a flow path. A plurality of flat tubes is retained within the opening in the channel plate along the flow path. A plurality of fins extends within the interior of the flat tube. An upper cover plate and a lower cover plate are fixed over the channel plate with the flat tube disposed therein, for example, by brazing.
