Abstract: An improved heat sink comprises a plurality of wire fins mounted on a heat sink base. Each wire fin comprises a coil made up of a plurality of contiguous loops of wire. A wire fin can be manufactured by deforming a helical wire member to an elongate, relatively compact shape. Several such wire fins can then be mounted to a heat sink base in order to form a pin-fin type heat sink.
