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.
