A heat exchanger (17) for an electronic heat pump (11) includes a thermally conductive base plate (18) having first and second surfaces, the first surface being flat and adapted to make intimate surface contact with a surface of the electronic heat pump and the second surface being obverse to the first surface and supporting an array of thermally conductive fins (21). The adjacent fins (21) define there between a plurality of micro channels. L'invention concerne un échangeur thermique (17) pour pompe à chaleur électronique (11) qui comprend une plaque de base conductrice (18) à première et seconde surfaces. La première surface est plate et permet un contact de surface étroit avec une surface de la pompe, et la seconde surface, à l'envers de la première, soutient un alignement d'ailettes conduisant la chaleur (21). Les ailettes adjacentes (21) définissent entre elles une pluralité de microcanaux.
