1. A fluid cooled cold plate comprising:

  • a main coolant passage having a first cross-sectional area taken laterally in a direction perpendicular to a flow direction of the main coolant passage;

    a finned coolant passage having a second cross-sectional area taken laterally in a direction perpendicular to the flow direction of the main coolant passage, wherein the second cross-sectional area is smaller than the first cross-sectional area;

    a branch fluidly connecting the main coolant passage with the finned coolant passage, wherein the branch is turned more than 90°

    from the flow direction of the main coolant passage, such that fluid flowing through the branch is reversed from the flow direction of the main coolant passage by turning more than 90°

    from the flow direction of the main coolant passage to prevent contaminants from flowing into the branch from the main coolant passage; and

    a coolant bypass passage in fluid communication with the main coolant passage and located fluidically parallel to the finned coolant passage such that fluid configured to flow through the fluid cooled cold plate passes through either the coolant bypass passage or the finned coolant passage.
