1. An electrical assembly for a vehicle, the electrical assembly comprising of:
a casting configured to be mounted directly to a frame of the vehicle, the casting including an inlet opening and an outlet opening;
a capacitor housing disposed at least partially within the casting, the capacitor housing including an inlet manifold and an outlet manifold extending along a surface of the capacitor housing,
the inlet manifold including:
a first cavity;
a first flange extending circumferentially around the first cavity; and
a first protrusion extending from the first flange, extending circumferentially around the first cavity, and extending into the capacitor housing; and
the outlet manifold including;
a second cavity;
a second flange extending circumferentially around the second cavity; and
a second protrusion extending from the second flange, extending circumferentially around the second cavity, and extending into the capacitor housing;
a capacitor disposed within the capacitor housing; and
a power module including one or more inverters, the power module being disposed above a top surface of the capacitor housing.
