Claim Text:
1. A light emitting diode (LED) package mounting apparatus comprising: a heatsink comprising a first surface and an arm, the arm disposed over the first surface and defining a space between the arm and the first surface wherein the arm comprises a camming surface extending at an angle relative to the first surface between a first end of the arm and a second end of the arm such that the distance between the camming surface and the first surface decreases from the first edge toward the second edge; an LED package comprising a base that supports an LED, the base comprising a second surface that supports the LED and a third surface in contact with the first surface over substantially the entire extent of the third surface, the base being inserted into the space from the first end such that a force applied to the base by the camming surface increases as the base is inserted into the space, the arm engaging the second surface of the base such that the force is exerted on the base to clamp the third surface against the first surface.
