1. A liquid-cooled assembly for an electronic component, the assembly comprising:
a housing defining at least one component chamber having a first fixed opening defining an insertion slot provided on an exterior of the housing and a second fixed opening provided on the exterior of the housing;
a first impingement sprayer located on a first side of the component chamber;
a second impingement sprayer located on a second side of the component chamber;
an inlet on the housing fluidly coupled to the first impingement sprayer and the second impingement sprayer;
an outlet on the housing fluidly coupled to the component chamber;
the electronic component having a first end and a second end defining an axis between the first end and the second end, the second end being distal from the first end, a first sealing element disposed between the first end and the second end, a second sealing element disposed proximate to the distal second end of the electronic component wherein the first sealing element entirely overlies an axial portion of the electronic component, wherein the electronic component is removably receivable within the insertion slot, and wherein the first sealing element fluidly seals the fixed opening; and
a liquid coolant circuit passing through the housing from the inlet, through at least one of the first impingement sprayer or the second impingement sprayer, through the component chamber, and to the outlet;
wherein the second fixed opening is opposite the fixed opening on the housing, in a direction of the receiving of the electronic component.
