1. A high power drive stack system comprising:
- a common support structure comprising a system power source, a dielectric fluid cooling system, and a plurality of receivers;
at least one module comprising a power component and a dielectric fluid cooling circuit associated with the power component, the at least one module removably insertable into one of the plurality of receivers of the common support structure and connected thereto by a least two connectors;
each connector of the at least two connectors comprising a plug and mating socket, each plug and each socket are formed at least in part as a hollow tube, at least a portion of the tube being electrically conductive along its length, each tube forming an electrical connection and a fluidic passageway between the at least one module and the common support structure.
