Abstract
A junction assembly has a first electrically conductive junction having at least one inlet and a second electrically conductive junction having at least one outlet. A plurality of electrically conductive flexible connectors are disposed between and attached to the first and second junctions. A casing surrounds the inlet and the outlet such that coolant can flow in from the inlet, throughout the interior of the casing interior, and out through the outlet.
Claims21
A junction assembly comprising:
- a first electrically conductive junction to be connected to at least one first electrical connector;
- a second electrically conductive junction to be connected to at least one second electrical connector;
- a plurality of electrically conductive flexible connectors disposed between and attached to the first and second electrically conductive junctions;
- and
- a casing surrounding said first and second electrically conductive junctions and said plurality of electrically conductive flexible connectors;
- said casing having at least one first fluid coolant port therein adjacent said first electrically conductive junction and at least one second coolant fluid port adjacent said second electrically conductive junction to permit a flow of coolant fluid through said casing to thereby cool said first and second electrically conductive junctions and said plurality of electrically conductive flexible connectors.
