1. An apparatus for an aerosol generating device comprising:
a resonant circuit comprising one or more inductive elements for inductively heating a susceptor arrangement to heat an aerosol generating material to thereby generate an aerosol, wherein the one or more inductive elements are mounted on a first external surface of a substrate;
a switching arrangement coupled to a voltage supply and configured to generate an alternating current at the tone or more inductive elements to cause inductive heating of the susceptor arrangement, wherein the switching arrangement comprises a plurality of transistors mounted to a second external surface of the substrate; and
a heat sink, wherein the heat sink is formed, at least in part, on the second external surface of the substrate, and wherein the inductive elements of the resonant circuit and the transistors of the switching arrangement are thermally connected to the heat sink.
