Electric drive module

An electric drive module comprising:

• a housing assembly;
• an electric motor received in the housing assembly and having a stator and a rotor that is rotatable relative to the stator about a rotary axis, the stator having a plurality of sets of field windings and a plurality of phase leads, each of the phase leads being electrically coupled to a corresponding one of the sets of field windings;
• and
• an inverter having a retaining member, an end plate, a circuit board assembly, a plurality of power semiconductor devices, and one or more heat sinks, the retaining member being received between the housing assembly and an axial end of each of the sets of field windings, the end plate being fixedly and sealingly coupled to the retaining member, the circuit board assembly being received in the retaining member on a first side of the end plate, each of the power semiconductor devices having a plurality of device terminals and a power terminal that is electrically coupled to one of the device terminals, the power semiconductor devices being arranged within the retaining member such that the power terminals are disposed on a second side of the end plate that is opposite the first side, wherein the device terminals of the power semiconductor devices extend through the end plate and are electrically coupled to the circuit board assembly, the power terminal of each of the power semiconductor devices being mounted to the one or more heat sinks, each of the one or more heat sinks having a plurality of fins, wherein the fins of the heat sinks are disposed in a region that is adjacent to the axial ends of the sets of field windings, wherein an inlet port is formed through the end plate, the inlet port being adapted to receive a liquid cooling fluid therethrough, the inlet port being coupled in fluid communication to the region.
