Led package

摘要

An LED package having a generally tubular electrically conductive body (2), a circuit board (16) which is mounted across the body (2) at or adjacent one end thereof and which has an outer face (16a) on which an LED (18) is mounted, an end contact (8) exposed at the end of the body (2) remote from the circuit board (16) and located relative to the body (2) by means of an insulating cap (6) mounted across the body (2). An electrical conductor extends from the end contact (8) through the cap (6), through the interior of the body (2) and through the circuit board (16) to connect the end contact (8) to one of the anode and the cathode of the LED (18). An electrically conductive path (22) is formed on the circuit board (16) to connect the other of the anode and the cathode of the LED (18) to the body (2) such that the body serves as a second contact enabling current to be supplied to the LED (18).
