Abstract
Prior capacitor assemblies used in high power applications have been difficult to mount on circuit boards and have generated large amounts of heat which leads to operational difficulties. In order to overcome these problems, a capacitor assembly includes first and second spaced thermally conductive members each having a channel therethrough for passage of a fluid coolant and a capacitor having first and second electrodes. Thermal paths are established between the capacitor and the fluid coolant in the channels of the first and second members so that heat developed by the capacitor is carried away during operation.
