Abstract
A thermal assembly for cooling an electronics module is described. The assembly includes a compressible thermal pad, a thermal plate, and a clip. The thermal plate attaches to a heat sink. The clip urges the thermal pad against a surface of the thermal plate. Heat generated by electronics components in the pluggable electronics module is conducted to the heat sink through a thermal path defined by the thermal plate, the compressible thermal pad, and the clip.
