Abstract
The present invention relates generally to a heat sink comprising a plurality of fins, each fin having two or more prongs extending from a root section of the fin. In certain embodiments, the heat sink may be assembled by aligning the plurality of fins within slots between protrusions extending from a base of the heat sink. However, in other embodiments, the plurality of fins may have connector ends having female sides and opposite male sides, wherein the plurality of fins may be attached to each other via the interlocking female and male sides, thereby forming at least part of the base of the heat sink, and fortified with reinforcing members.
