Claim:
1. An LED module, comprising: a first lead including a die-bonding portion and a front-end portion, the die-bonding portion being formed with a mount surface and a reverse surface spaced apart from each other in a thickness direction, the front-end portion being connected to the die-bonding portion and including a first end face at an end thereof; a second lead including a wire-bonding portion and spaced apart from the first lead in an offset direction perpendicular to the thickness direction, the second lead including a second end face at an end thereof, the second end face facing the first end face in the offset direction; an LED chip mounted on the mount surface and provided with a first electrode terminal and a second electrode terminal, the first electrode terminal being electrically connected to the first lead, the second electrode terminal being electrically connected to the second lead; a wire connecting the second electrode terminal and an upper surface of the wire-bonding portion to each other; and a support member including a protective portion and supporting the first and the second leads, the protective portion covering the front-end portion and a part of the second lead, the protective portion including an inclined portion that becomes thinner in the thickness direction with increasing distance from the first lead toward the second lead, wherein the inclined portion comprises an upper inclined surface part, a height of the inclined portion in the thickness direction constantly decreasing with increasing distance from the front-end portion towards the wire-bonding portion, over an area from the first end face to the second end face as viewed in the thickness direction.
