Abstract
The present invention provides an electrical and fluid interconnect for providing electrical connection between one or more circuits or electrical devices and a mateable circuit board or substrate, and for providing fluid coupling of a cooling fluid to permit fluid flow in relation to the electrical circuits or devices when mated to the circuit board or substrate. The fluid connector has a valve which in the absence of mating pressure is in a closed or off position. When mated to a fluid connector which is part of or coupled to the latch assembly, the valve is opened to permit fluid to flow.
