Abstract
A power-module assembly includes a plurality of power modules that each have a power stage with opposing major sides and minor sides surrounded by a frame. The frame extends past the major sides and cooperates with the major sides to define pockets on each side of the power module. The modules are arranged in a stack such that pockets adjacent to each other cooperate to form coolant chambers interleaved with the modules.
