Abstract

A heat pipe type heat dissipation device for an electronic component comprises a base plate, a cover plate spaced from the base plate, a plurality of parallel fins extending between the base plate and the cover plate and connecting with them. The base plate, the cover plate and each two adjacent fins collectively define a unitary air passage. The base plate has a protuberant portion, which has a convex surface facing towards the cover plate and has a thickness getting small from the middle to two sides in a direction parallel to the fins. The cover plate also has a protuberant portion similar to the protuberant portion of the base plate. A heat pipe connects the protuberant portions of the cover plate and the base plate.
