The present invention provides a heat sink for cooling a component. The
component may be one of several components on a circuit board. The heat
sink includes a tubular body and a plurality of internal fins. The
tubular body has an interior surface and an exterior surface. At least a
portion of the exterior surface being substantially flat. The plurality
of internal fins extend from the internal surface and are generally
symmetric around a center line of the tubular body. The substantially
flat portion of the tubular body contacts the component to remove heat
from the component. The heat sink may further include a plurality of
exterior fins extending from the exterior surface of the tubular body.
