Abstract:
The present invention provides a method for producing an electronic assembly and an electronic assembly (10, 100, 200, 300, 600) with an integrated cooling system for dissipating heat. The electronic assembly comprises a base (18, 218, 318, 618); and at least one electrical component (30, 230, 330, 630) attached to the base (18, 218, 318, 618). The base (18, 218, 318, 618) defines an integrated cooling system having a fluid channel (11, 211, 311, 611) spanning within the base (18, 218, 318, 618) and at least one heat exchanger (12, 13) in heat communication with the fluid channel (11, 211, 311, 611). The integrated cooling system may further include a pump (14) attached to the base (18, 218, 318, 618) for directing the flow of the fluid within the fluid channel (11, 211, 311, 611), and a port (16) in fluid communication with the fluid channel (11, 211, 311, 611) for receiving fluid from an external source.
