Abstract: A thermal bridge includes a frame and an array of multiple plates. The frame defines a bridge opening, and the array of plates is held in the bridge opening. The plates are stacked side-by-side along a stack axis. The array extends between a top end defined by top edges of the plates and a bottom end defined by bottom edges of the plates. Each plate is independently vertically compressible between the respective top and bottom edges of the plate relative to other plates in the array. The top end of the array is configured to engage and conform to a contour of a first external surface. The bottom end of the array is configured to engage and conform to a contour of a second external surface. The plates are thermally conductive to transfer heat between the first and second external surfaces.

Abstract: Plug assembly including a pluggable connector having a mating end and a trailing end and a central axis extending therebetween. The pluggable connector includes internal electronics that generate thermal energy within the pluggable connector. The mating end is configured to engage a data connector. The pluggable connector also includes a thermal interface region that is coupled to the pluggable connector. The thermal interface region includes a series of transfer plates that extend parallel to each other and to the central axis. The transfer plates define a series of plate-receiving slots extending parallel to the central axis. The thermal interface region transfers the thermal energy generated by the internal electronics through the transfer plates.

Abstract: Thermal-transfer assembly includes a first transfer module having a plurality of first projections. The first projections are spaced apart from one another to form corresponding gaps therebetween. The thermal-transfer assembly also includes a second transfer module having a plurality of second projections. The second projections are spaced apart from one another to form corresponding gaps therebetween. The first and second transfer modules interface with each other in a mated arrangement. The first and second projections project in opposite directions along a Z-axis and intimately engage one another to transfer thermal energy therebetween. The thermal-transfer assembly also includes an assembly clip coupled to and configured to engage each of the first and second transfer modules. The assembly clip prevents the first and second transfer modules from separating along the Z-axis and/or biases the first and second transfer modules away from each other along the Z-axis.
