Abstract

Abstract A mounting system for electrical function units, particularly for a data technology system is composed of an alternating sequence of cooling plates provided with cooling channels for a coolant and with through-contactings and of printed circuit boards constructed in microwiring technology. These printed circuit boards have contact areas on both of their surfaces for contacting the terminal contact pads of integrated components that in turn have their side not provided with terminal contact pads pressing against the cooling plates. External operating and signal voltages are supplied to the function units. Such a structure enables a high packing density of the components. In the mounting system the packing density of such components is further increased by connecting the terminal contact pads of the integrated components to the contact areas of the printed circuit boards directly via contact mats.
