Abstract
A receptacle assembly includes a housing that is configured to hold an electrical module. An energy transfer element, which is held by the housing, is positioned to directly engage the electrical module. The transfer element absorbs thermal energy produced by the electrical module. The receptacle assembly also includes a heat sink that is remotely located from the transfer element. A thermally conductive member extends between the heat sink and the transfer element to convey thermal energy therebetween.
