Abstract
A cooling chamber is bonded to an electrical device to be cooled. The chamber includes a metal wall connecting the device into the working electrical circuit. A thinned portion of the metal wall forms a fuse which will burn out due to an excessive flow of current through the electrical device upon failure.
