Abstract

See full text

Pluggable connector including a connector housing having a leading end configured to mate with a receptacle assembly. The connector housing has an interior cavity. The pluggable connector also includes a communication assembly held by the connector housing. The communication assembly includes internal electronics located within the interior cavity, and a mating terminal located proximate to the leading end. The mating terminal is communicatively coupled to the internal electronics. The pluggable connector also includes a thermal-transfer assembly that is disposed within the interior cavity. The thermal-transfer assembly includes first and second thermal-transfer modules that each include a plurality of spaced-apart projections. The corresponding projections of the first and second thermal-transfer modules are interleaved with one another. The first thermal-transfer module is coupled to the internal electronics, and the second thermal-transfer module is coupled to the connector housing.
