Claim:
1. An assembly comprising: a capacitor having a plurality of film capacitors, wherein the capacitor is not encapsulated within its own casing such that the film capacitors are exposed to an environment external to the capacitor; a coldplate including a coldplate member including a pocket configured to receive the capacitor therein, the pocket being sized to surround the capacitor when the capacitor is received within the pocket to thereby provide physical integration of the capacitor in the coldplate member; wherein the capacitor is received within the pocket to thereby be physically integrated in the coldplate; and a potting material received within the pocket, the potting material substantially surrounding the film capacitors of the capacitor, wherein the potting material facilitates heat transfer from the film capacitors to the coldplate member via the pocket, provides electrical isolation to the film capacitors, and mechanically supports the film capacitors.
