Abstract
Abstract A printed circuit having a board disposed for the support of disposed components and provided with channels extending from a central point to outlet holes in the board at positions of the components. A plate is secured to the board to enclose the channels and provide conduit communication between the outlet holes and a coolant storage bottle. The size of the ports and the width of the channels control the amount of coolant flowing from the bottle to the components for augmenting their current carrying capacity.
