Abstract

A coldplate for use with an inverter of an electric vehicle includes a coldplate member. The coldplate member includes a pocket configured to receive a DC link capacitor of the inverter therein. The pocket is sized to surround the DC link capacitor when the DC link capacitor is received within the pocket to thereby provide physical integration of the DC link capacitor in the coldplate member.
