Abstract
A pluggable electronic module is provided that has an electronic component and a module body enclosing the electronic component. The module body has a first surface and a second surface. The first surface has a first area substantially parallel to the second surface and a second area that defines a non-zero angle with respect to the first area. The second area contacts a thermal sink to dissipate heat generated by the electronic component. The pluggable electronic module has a reduced insertion force in comparison with conventional pluggable electronic modules.
