Patent ID: 7706143

Claim:
A mounting plate ( 10 ) for electronic components ( 12 ) and having coolant lines ( 16 , 18 ) integrated in a plate body ( 14 ) for a cooling fluid to flow through, the plate body ( 14 ) including a fastening arrangement for mounting the electronic components to be cooled, comprising: a first groove ( 20 ) having a C-shaped cross section and extending in a straight line in an extension direction (A) of the mounting plate ( 10 ); a second groove ( 22 ) identical to the first groove ( 20 ) and extending parallel with the first groove ( 20 ) at a distance (B) from the first groove ( 20 ), the distance (B) matching a length of an extension between screw holes of a first electronic component ( 12 ) mountable on the mounting plate ( 10 ), wherein the first electronic component ( 12 ) is mountable to the plate body ( 14 ) by a screw connection with at least one screw nut inserted and fixed against relative rotation in each of the first groove ( 20 ) and the second groove ( 22 ); and an angle bracket ( 30 ) for mounting to the plate body ( 14 ) a second electronic component having a second length of extension, perpendicularly with respect to the first and second grooves ( 20 , 22 ), that is less than the distance (B), the angle bracket ( 30 ) including a level base plate ( 34 ), a clamping area ( 36 ) offset from the level base plate ( 34 ), and an elongated hole ( 38 ) in the level base plate ( 34 ) for receiving a screw ( 32 ) and elongated in a direction perpendicular to the extension direction (A); wherein a first end of the second electronic component is mountable to the plate body ( 14 ) by a screw connection with at least one screw nut inserted and fixed against relative rotation in one of the first groove ( 20 ) or the second groove ( 22 ), and the level base plate ( 34 ) is placed against the plate body ( 14 ) and a second end of the second electronic component is clampingly mounted to the plate body ( 14 ) by passing the clamping area ( 36 ) over a portion of the second end of the second electronic component and tightening the screw ( 32 ) passing through the elongated hole ( 38 ) and coupled with a screw nut positioned within an other of the first groove ( 20 ) or the second groove ( 22 ).
