Abstract:
1. A modular package for a light emitting device, comprising: a leadframe having a top surface and including a central region having a bottom surface and having a first thickness between the top surface of the leadframe and the bottom surface of the central region wherein the central region comprises a plurality of electrically isolated die mounting regions that are configured to receive respective light emitting devices, the leadframe further including a first plurality of electrical leads that are electrically isolated from the die mounting regions of the central region and that extend laterally away from a first side of the central region, each of the first electrical leads including a first region proximate the central region and having a bottom surface and a second thickness from the top surface of the leadframe to the bottom surface of the electrical lead adjacent the central region, wherein the second thickness is less than the first thickness; and a package body on the leadframe surrounding the central region and exposing bottom surfaces of the die mounting regions; wherein each of the first electrical leads further comprises a second region distal from the central region, the second region having the first thickness; wherein the package body is at least partially provided beneath the bottom surface of the first region of the lead and adjacent the bottom surface of the central region; and wherein the leadframe comprises a plurality of second electrical leads adjacent a second side of the central region opposite the first side of the central region and that are not electrically connected to die mounting regions.
