Abstract
The present invention relates to a process for mounting and heatsinking a piezoelectric transformer (PT). The method provides a method to mount a PT, while allowing heat generated in the device to be conducted away to the mounting surface. The method can be used in piezoelectric transformer based ballasts and power supplies such that high power levels may be achieved due to minimizing thermal constraints on the devices.
