US 11,101,630 B1 · Busbar assembly for immersion cooling

Abstract

Embodiments of busbar assemblies for immersion cooling are described herein. In one embodiment, a busbar assembly can include an insulator block and a busbar. The insulator block can include a first barrier extending from a first end of the insulator block to a second end of the insulator block. The insulator block can a second barrier extending from the first end to the second end. The first barrier can include a first support surface. The second barrier can include a second support surface. The insulator block can include a channel between the first barrier and the second barrier. The channel can extend from the first end to the second end. The busbar can be positioned in the channel. The busbar may have a top surface that is recessed below the first support surface and the second support surface. Other examples may be described and claimed.
