An automotive power converter may include a cold plate, a printed circuit board spaced away from the cold plate and including at least one heat generating electrical component attached thereto, and another printed circuit board disposed between the cold plate and the printed circuit board spaced away from the cold plate. The converter may further include at least one thermally conductive element configured to provide a thermally conductive path from the at least one heat generating electrical component to the cold plate. The at least one thermally conductive element may pass through the printed circuit boards.
