  • Publication number: 20050286232
    Abstract: A heat sink includes a base and a plurality of spaced parallel fins arranged on the base. Adjacent fins define a plurality of passages there between. Each passage includes an inlet and at least one outlet. The base and the fins made separately, and the fins is thin, such that amount of the fins arranged on the base increases. And the fins are disposed on the base alternately or/and staggered such that the inlet and the outlet are wider than a middle part of the passage to lower airflow resistance thereat. Thus, the heat sink has large heat dissipating area and low airflow resistance synchronously.
