Claim:
1. A light emitting diode (LED) package comprising: a lead frame comprising a plurality of electrically conductive chip carriers; an LED disposed on each one of the plurality of electrically conductive chip carriers, each LED having a first electrical terminal and a second electrical terminal, wherein the first electrical terminal of each LED is electrically coupled to the corresponding electrically conductive chip carrier; a plastic casing at least partially encasing the lead frame; and a plurality of electrically conductive connection parts separate from the plurality of electrically conductive chip carriers, each electrically conductive chip carrier having an upper surface, a lower surface, and a chip carrying pad on the upper surface, each electrically conductive connection part having an upper surface, a lower surface, and a connection pad on the upper surface, wherein the electrically conductive chip carriers and the electrically conductive connection parts comprise sheet metal, wherein the second electrical terminal of each LED is electrically coupled to a connection pad of a corresponding one of a plurality of electrically conductive connection parts, wherein a profile height of the LED package is less than 1.0 mm, and wherein a surface area of the upper surface of each electrically conductive connection part is less than about one half of a surface area of the upper surface of each electrically conductive chip carrier.
