Abstract
An exemplary heat dissipation apparatus includes a number of fins and a heat pipe. Each fin defines a through hole therein. A collar extends from each fin at an edge of the through hole. The collar inclines toward a center of the through hole. An inner diameter of the collar gradually decreases along a direction away form the fin. A diameter of the heat pipe is larger than a minimum inner diameter of the collar when the collar in a natural state. When the heat pipe extends through the through hole of the fin, the collar is pushed by the heat pipe to expand outwardly, so that the heat pipe intimately contacts an inner face of the collar.
