A coldplate 12 and inverter 14 device and assembly 10 for an electric vehicle, the coldplate 12 comprising a coldplate member 22 with a pocket 28 to receive and surround a DC link capacitor 18. The coldplate 12 may comprise a second member (Figure 2, 24) joined to the first 22 to receive a fluid to cool the DC link capacitor 18. The coldplate 12 may comprise a potting material to surround the DC link capacitor 18. The pocket 28 may have a height and shape corresponding to the DC link capacitor 18 wherein the floor of the pocket 28 is on the side of a member 22, 24 and the walls extend from the floor. The DC link capacitor 18 may be a naked DC link capacitor and may comprise a stack of film capacitors (Figure 2, 20) wherein the potting material surrounds the film capacitors (Figure 2, 20). |
