Light source

摘要

A light source (200) suitable for surface mounting onto a printed circuit board comprises a planar substrate (210) with a centrally positioned recess (220) with a light emitting diode (230) mounted in the recess. Wires (240, 242) connected to the diode are connected to terminals on the upper surface of the substrate which are connected by interconnects extending through the substrate to conductive pads (250, 252) on the lower surface. The substrate is encapsulated by a transparent encapsulant material (260) forming an ellipsoidal dome over the light emitting diode.
