Abstract
A power electronic system including a casing encapsulating a circuit board and multiple power electronic components mounted to a first broad face of the circuit board. The casing includes a case body, a first lid, and a second lid. The case body includes a cooling channel region including a cooling plate having a first and second broad face, cooling features extending from the cooling plate first broad face, and a cooling block extending from the cooling plate second broad face. The case body further includes a first access gap defined through the case body. The circuit board is mounted to the casing with the first broad face proximal the cooling plate second broad face. The power electronic system additionally includes a connector that extends from the case exterior to connect to the circuit board first broad face, wherein connector connection is facilitated by the first access gap.
