Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	Inductor cooling systems and methods are disclosed. A vehicle inductor cooling system may include an inductor assembly secured to a vehicle transmission case and including a core and a conductive coil wrapped around the core. A thermal interface material (TIM) may be spaced apart from the core and may contact a bottom portion of the conductive coil and a surface of the transmission case. The TIM may be configured to transfer heat from the conductive coil to the transmission case. The TIM may be a compressed solid thermal interface material. The TIM may be in contact with at least 85% of a projected surface area of the bottom portion of the conductive coil. The TIM may passively cool the conductive coil(s) of the inductor assembly by transferring heat from the coils to a vehicle transmission case, which may act as a heat sink.
