A stacked plate heat exchanger for a thermal management system is provided, which has a stack of numerous heat exchanger plates that are brazed or glued together along the direction of the stack, which delimit a first fluid path and second fluid path, which are separated from one another in the stack, and adjacent to one another such that thermal energy can be transferred from a fluid in the first path to a fluid in the second path, or vice versa. The the stacked plate heat exchanger has a first plastic reinforcing plate on the first end of the stack. An assembly for a thermal management system and in particular to a thermal management system that contains such an assembly is provided.
