Patent ID: 7508002

Claim:
An optoelectronic surface-mountable structural element comprising: an optoelectronic chip having an anode and a cathode; a chip carrier part, a connection part being separate from said chip carrier part, and at least four electrical connections; and a casing having a first main surface, a second main surface disposed opposite said first main surface and side surfaces; said optoelectronic chip being mounted on and heat-conductively connected to said chip carrier part; at least three of said at least four electrical connections being heat-conductively connected to said chip carrier part; at least one of said at least four electrical connections being electrically connected to said connection part; said optoelectronic chip having an electrical contact electrically conductively connected to said connection part; said casing encasing said optoelectronic chip, said chip carrier part, said connection part and a part of each of said at least four electrical connections; said at least three electrical connections being electrically connected to one of said anode and said cathode and projecting from said casing on at least two of said side surfaces of said casing at different places at a distance from each other; said at least one electrical connection being electrically connected to the other of the said anode and said cathode and projecting from said casing on one of said side surfaces of said casing.
