Abstract

A cold plate assembly is provided having a cold plate with a generally planar member that provides a support surface. The support surface is configured to support a heat generating device. A structural member provides attaching features that are configured to secure the cold plate assembly to a support. The cold plate is secured to the structural member by a braze material. In one example, the cold plate assembly is manufactured by arranging multiple sheets with a first braze material provided between the sheets. The multiple sheets comprise a cold plate. The braze material is heated to mechanically join the multiple sheets to one another and the cold plate to the structural member.
