Abstract
A heat sink for dissipating heat from an electronic component includes a core and a plurality of fins extending outwardly from the core. The fins may be at least partially curved. Each fin may split into a plurality of tines that extend away from the core.
Claims23
A heat sink comprising:
- a core;
- and
- a plurality of fins extending outwardly from the core, the fins being at least partially curved and each fin splitting into a plurality of tines that extend away from the core, at least some of the fins each having a cured surface that faces toward an adjacent one of the fins.
A heat sink comprising:
- a core;
- and
- a plurality of fins extending outwardly from the core, the fins being at least partially curved and each fin splitting into a plurality of tines that extend away from the core;
- wherein the core has a central axis, and all cross-sections of the heat sink taken normal to the central axis are identical to each other.

An electronic system comprising:
- substrate;
- an electronic component mounted on the substrate;
- and
- a heat sink thermally coupled to the electronic component, the heat sink including:
- a core;
- and
- a plurality of fins extending outwardly from the core, the fins being at least partially curved and each fin splitting into a plurality of tines that extend away from the cores least some of the fins each having a curved surface that faces toward an adjacent one of the fins.
