1. An assembly, comprising:
a cooling plate assembly for dual-sided cooling, the cooling plate assembly comprising:
a first cooling plate that has a first cooling plate connector side and a first cooling plate cooling side that is opposite the first cooling plate connector side; and
a second cooling plate that has a second cooling plate connector side and a second cooling plate cooling side that is opposite the second cooling plate connector side,
the second cooling plate configured to attach to the first cooling plate such that formed between the first cooling plate connector side and the second cooling plate connector side is at least one cooling passage through which a cooling fluid is flowed to transfer heat from both the first cooling plate cooling side and the second cooling plate cooling side to the cooling fluid; and
a flexible circuit assembly, comprising:
a first circuit member that has a first circuit member first side and a first circuit member second side that is opposite the first circuit member first side;
a second circuit member that has a second circuit member first side and a second circuit member second side; and
a connector member that is configured to electrically and mechanically connect the first circuit member to the second circuit member such that the first circuit member is in electrical communication with the second circuit member and so as to form a gap therebetween with which to receive the cooling plate assembly that is configured to promote cooling of both the first circuit member first side and the second circuit member first side,
wherein at least one of the first cooling plate connector side and the second cooling plate connector side includes a groove with which to receive a sealing gasket that is configured to promote sealing of the at least one cooling passage formed between the first cooling plate connector side and the second cooling plate connector side.
