    Abstract: A pluggable network interface device includes a printed circuit board (“PCB”) and a housing configured to receive a heat transfer plate selected from a set of swappable heat transfer plates. An upper surface of the housing includes a set of modular plate receiving features. When in an assembled state, the upper surface of the housing is attached via the set of modular plate receiving features to one heat transfer plate of a set of heat transfer plates. The overall height of the pluggable network interface module in the assembled state is greater than a first assembly height dimension measured from a base surface of the housing to the upper surface of the housing. The set of modular plate receiving features are configured to engage with any heat transfer plate in the set of swappable heat transfer plates that are associated with different module types.

    Abstract: A pluggable network interface device includes a printed circuit board (“PCB”), a housing, and a heatsink. The heatsink includes a first surface and a second surface, disposed opposite the first surface, that is maintained in direct contact with a surface of a heat-generating circuit of the PCB. The housing includes an outer shell defining an exterior of the housing, a receiving cavity disposed inside the outer shell, and an aperture extending through a first side of the outer shell from the exterior of the housing into the receiving cavity. A portion of the PCB and the second surface of the heatsink are disposed inside the receiving cavity while a portion of the heatsink extends from within the receiving cavity through the aperture arranging the first surface of the heatsink adjacent the exterior of the housing.
