Abstract
A pluggable module is provided and includes a plug receptacle in which a plug is receivable, a housing coupled to the plug receptacle, a heat removal device partially disposable within the housing to assume and be movable between first and second positions and an armature. The armature is interposed between corresponding portions of the housing and the heat removal device and is configured for selective manipulation to thereby move the heat removal device from the second position to the first position. With the plug received in the plug receptacle and the heat removal device in the first position, the heat removal device forms a thermal pathway with the plug by which heat is removed from the plug.
