An inductor including a magnetic core ( 30 ) including at least one magnetic core element ( 32 ), the magnetic core ( 30 ) having a first portion ( 38 ) spaced from and facing a second portion ( 42 ), at least one winding ( 36 ) supported by the magnetic core ( 30 ), and a thermally conductive element ( 10 ) having a thermal conductivity greater than about 100 w/mK in thermal contact with the first and second portions ( 38, 42 ), the electrically conductive element ( 10 ) defining a plurality of paths ( 26 ) from the first portion ( 38 ) to the second portion ( 42 ), the paths ( 26 ) being filled with an electrically insulative material ( 28 ). A method of cooling an inductor with a heat transfer device ( 10 ) is also disclosed.
