An electronic assembly is constructed with an enclosed fluid-cooled cold
plate. Pressurized cooling fluid is propelled through the cold plate to
carry away heat from the electronic assembly. The cold plate is
constructed from a plurality of enclosure elements which are attached
together with a thermally-conductive adhesive. The adhesive may be cured
at a low temperature of about 125.degree. C. The cold plate may be
produced from thin metal without distortion or warping that might
otherwise result from assembly at higher temperatures.
