Claim:
1. A Light Emitting Diode (LED) component comprising: a lead frame that comprises a metal anode pad, a metal cathode pad and a plastic cup on the metal anode pad and the metal cathode pad that defines an exposed portion of the metal anode pad and an exposed portion of the metal cathode pad in an interior of the plastic cup, the plastic cup comprising: an LED die that comprises first and second opposing faces and an anode contact and a cathode contact on the first face thereof, the anode and cathode contacts including outer faces remote from the LED die, the LED die being disposed in the plastic cup such that the outer face of the anode contact is adjacent the plastic cup base and spaced apart from the exposed portion of the metal anode pad, and the outer face of the cathode contact is adjacent the plastic up base and spaced apart from the exposed portion of the metal cathode pad; and a die attach layer that extends between the outer face of the anode contact and the exposed portion of the metal anode pad and between the outer face of the cathode contact and the exposed portion of the metal cathode pad and that directly electrically connects the outer face of the anode contact to the exposed portion of the metal anode pad and directly electrically connects the outer face of the cathode contact to the exposed portion of the metal cathode pad.
