1. A temperature regulation device for an electrical component liable to give off heat during operation, comprising an upper plate and a lower plate joined together and forming a plurality of circulation channels for a heat transfer fluid, wherein at least some of the circulation channels lead into at least one diverting chamber, by virtue of which the fluid can make a diversion, wherein at least one of the at least one diverting chamber and the plurality of circulation channels has a mechanical reinforcing element formed on a wall of the at least one diverting chamber or of one of the plurality of circulation channels, the mechanical reinforcing element being a stamped shape formed on a corresponding plate of the upper and lower plates so as to alter a fluid passage cross-section of the at least one of the at least one diverting chamber and the plurality of circulation channels.
