Abstract
An inductor includes a printed wiring board (PWB) and a plurality of electrically-conductive heat pipes operatively connected to the PWB. The PWB includes electrically conductive traces electrically connected to the plurality of electrically-conductive heat pipes. The traces and plurality of electrically conductive heat pipes form an inductor winding. A method of manufacturing an inductor includes mounting a plurality of electrically conductive heat pipes to a printed wiring board (PWB), wherein the PWB includes electrically conductive traces to connect the plurality of electrically-conductive heat pipes to form an inductor winding.
