Patent ID: 7642704

Claim:
A light-emitting diode with a base comprising: a base made of a material having a high thermal conductivity, the base having an upper surface, a lower surface and a periphery that extends between the upper and lower surfaces; a printed circuit board mounted on the upper surface of the base, the printed circuit board having an upper surface, a lower surface, a hole passing through the upper and lower surfaces of the printed circuit board, an electrode pattern provided at least on the upper surface of the printed circuit board, a protruding portion horizontally extending from an outer edge of the base, and at least a pair of external connection electrodes provided on at least a part of the protruding portion and electrically connected to the electrode pattern; at least one light-emitting diode element mounted on the upper surface of the base in the hole of the printed circuit board and electrically connected to the electrode pattern of the printed circuit board; and a resin material sealing the at least one light-emitting diode element.
