A heat transfer device for transferring heat to a housing,comprising a heat spreader,at least one heat transfer plate mechanically connected to the heat spreader so as to be resiliently compressible towards the heat spreader when brought into contact with the housing, and at least one heat pipe thermally connected to each heat transfer plate and to the heat spreader. The resilient compressibility of the heat transfer plates makes the heat transfer device flexible, such that it may adapt to a different shape of housing.In contrast to known thermal interfaces, the thermal interface of the heat transfer device of the invention is not mechanically connected to the housing in which it is used, but connected to the heat spreader, and may instead be pressed into contact with the housing, without mechanical fixation.
