Abstract
A heat sink assembly for a pluggable module having a housing includes a plurality of discrete heat sink members in thermal communication with more than one wall of the housing. The heat sink members transfer heat from the pluggable module to the surrounding environment. The heat sink assembly also includes a spring member configured to exert a force on the plurality of discrete heat sink members for forcing the heat sink members into thermal engagement with the housing.
