A heat sink is arranged on a main circuit board of an electronic module. The heat sink includes a three-dimensionally structured thermally conductive plate with a press-on region and with snap-action hooks. The snap-action hooks are arranged approximately at right angles with respect to the press-on region and are resiliently connected to the press-on region.
