1. A power module assembly for a power inverter of a vehicle, the power module assembly comprising:
a housing defining a cavity; and
a plurality of cards arranged side-by-side in a planar, linear array, the array being positioned within the cavity such that an inlet manifold is defined between a first longitudinal side of the array and the housing and an outlet manifold is defined between a second longitudinal side of the array and the housing; wherein
the inlet and outlet manifolds cooperate to form a fluid circuit that is in direct contact with both sides of each of the cards.
