### 2. Design and Components
The "Electronic Parts" involved in this assembly are not active circuits, but rather mechanical-thermal components:
* **Heat Sink Body:** Features a high-fin-density design to maximize surface area for convective heat transfer.
* **Push-Pin Attachment:** This model uses a brass push-pin mechanism. It is designed to go through pre-drilled holes in the Printed Circuit Board (PCB), providing a secure and consistent mounting force.
* **Compression Springs:** These ensure that the heat sink maintains high pressure against the electronic chip, minimizing the air gap.
* **T766 TIM:** This is a phase-change thermal interface material applied to the base. It fills microscopic imperfections between the chip and the heat sink to improve heat conductivity.

### 3. Thermal Performance Profile
The effectiveness of this part depends heavily on the airflow (LFM - Linear Feet per Minute) provided by the system's fans:
| Airflow Rate (LFM) | Thermal Resistance (°C/W) |
| :--- | :--- |
| **100 (Unducted)** | 6.36 |
| **200 (Unducted)** | 4.33 |
| **400 (Unducted)** | 3.10 |
| **600 (Unducted)** | 2.50 |

### 4. Implementation Details
To use the ATS-05B-90-C2-R0, the PCB layout must account for:
1. **Hole Pattern:** Two holes spaced specifically for the 40mm frame.
2. **Keep-out Zone:** Ensure no surface-mount components (SMD) are placed directly under the heat sink footprint that could interfere with the base contact.
