Piezoelectric transformer with patterns for recognizing node point

Abstract

Disclosed is a piezoelectric transformer provided with node point recognition patterns for visually indicating respective node points, at which external electrical connection of input and output electrodes is made, thereby allowing the external electrical connection of the input and output electrodes to be easily achieved in a manual wire soldering process, while allowing the wire soldering process to be automatically carried out irrespective of the size of the piezoelectric transformer. The piezoelectric transformer, which includes a piezoelectric member, an input electrode, an output electrode, and a ground electrode, the electrodes being printed on the piezoelectric member, further includes a plurality of node point recognition patterns extending radially about the center of each of the electrodes while being spaced apart from the center of the electrode by a desired radial distance. Each node point recognition pattern is formed by removing a portion of the electrode corresponding to the node point recognition pattern.
