Claim 16:
17. An electronic component cooling system, comprising:
an electronic component;
a housing at least partially forming an enclosure about the electronic component;
an external component external to the enclosure;
a connector operably connecting the electronic component to the external component;
a cooling fluid source external to the enclosure and operable to supply a cooling fluid; and
an electronic component connector cooling device operably coupled to the housing, the connector, and the cooling fluid source, the electronic component connector cooling device comprising:
a base portion,
a conduit portion extending from the base portion, the conduit portion having a cooling channel;
a housing coupling interface formed in the base portion facilitating coupling the electronic component connector cooling device to, and supporting the electronic component connector cooling device about, the housing;
a connector coupling interface formed in the base portion facilitating coupling the connector to, and supporting the connector about, the electronic component connector cooling device, the connector comprising a lock nut to couple the connector to the connector coupling interface;
an inlet port formed in the conduit portion and in fluid communication with the cooling channel, the inlet port coupled to the cooling fluid source to receive the cooling fluid from the cooling fluid source, and
one or more outlet ports formed in the base portion and in fluid communication with the cooling channel, wherein the one or more outlet ports is operable to direct the cooling fluid internal to the enclosure to cool the electronic component.
