Claim:
1. An electrically conductive lead frame for a multiple emitter package, comprising: a plurality of electrically conductive cathode parts on a first side of said lead frame each comprising an attach pad portion for carrying at least one light emitting device, with each attach pad being electrically coupled to its said at least one light emitting device, each of said plurality of electrically conductive cathode parts further comprising through-holes and V-cuts, wherein at least one of said V-cuts partially extends into a first surface of each of said plurality of electrically conductive cathode parts and at least one other of said V-cuts partially extends into a second surface of each of said plurality of electrically conductive cathode parts, said second surface opposite said first surface, wherein at least one of said through-holes intersects with at least one of said V-cuts; a corresponding plurality of electrically conductive anode parts on the opposite side of said lead frame from said cathode parts, each of said anode parts comprising a connection pad portion configured to allow electrical connection to one of said at least one light emitting device, wherein said attach pads and connection pads are configured to hold light emitting devices in linear alignment; and side indentations in at least some of said anode and cathode parts, at least some of said side indentations having a wave shape.
