Abstract
An electronic component operating at high voltage is mounted to the top side of an insulating platform, which in turn is supported from a chassis by a pedestal. The insulating platform provides a long surface path conduction distance of the electronic component to the chassis and to other components mounted to the chassis. The platform-mounted electronic component is thereby insulated against arcing and damaging the other components.
