Thermal cooling interface for electrical joints

A thermal cooling interface for electrically coupling a first conductive component to a second conductive component, said thermal cooling interface positionable between the first and second conductive components and comprising:

• a base plate coupled to the first conductive component when said thermal cooling interface is positioned between the first and second conductive components;
• and
• a plurality of walls extending orthogonally from said base plate towards the second conductive component, said plurality of walls defining a plurality of enclosed cooling channels that channel air therethrough to facilitate cooling the first and second conductive components, wherein the first conductive component, said thermal cooling interface, and the second conductive component are electrically coupled in series.

An electrical joint comprising:

• a first conductive component comprising a first thermal cooling interface portion having a first plurality of walls;
• and
• a second conductive component comprising a second thermal cooling interface portion having a second plurality of walls, wherein the first plurality of walls contact the second plurality of walls to define a plurality of cooling channels that channel air therethrough to facilitate cooling said first and second conductive components, and wherein the first and second thermal cooling interface portions define a current path between the first and second conductive components.
