Patent ID: 7187545

Claim:
A cooling device for cooling at least one electrical component and for attachment to a support having an even surface, said cooling device comprising: a hollow body including suitable heat-conducting and electrically-insulating material formed in a substantially flat plate shape, conducting a coolant fluid between first and second flat-sided surfaces opposing each other, the first flat-sided surface receiving each component to be cooled, and the second flat-sided surface having at least two coolant fluid openings, spaced apart, supplying and removing the coolant fluid to and from said hollow body, and to be attached to the even surface of the support, where the second flat-sided surface of said hollow body between the coolant fluid openings is concave and elastically deformable; and an attachment device attaching said hollow body to the even surface of the support and pressing together the concave portion of the second flat-sided surface of said hollow body and the even surface of the support with an elastic, planar deformation of the concave portion of the second flat-sided surface of said hollow body.
