Patent ID: 7626250

Claim:
A high power light emitting diode package comprising: a heat connecting part for mounting a light emitting part on an upper surface thereof, the light emitting part generating light in response to current applied thereto; frames electrically connected to the light emitting part while holding the heat connecting part; and a molded part fixing the heat connecting part and the frames together, wherein the upper surface of the heat connecting part is protruded beyond an upper surface of the molded part to a predetermined height so that the upper surface of the heat connecting part is positioned higher than the upper surface of the molded part, and the heat connecting part has a holding portion formed in an outer circumference of a body thereof to contact leading ends of the frames, thereby generating holding force for holding the heat connecting part in position, wherein the holding portion comprises a groove continuously extending around the outer circumference of the heat connecting part body, and the leading ends of the frames are elastically held when insertedly fitted into the groove of the holding portion.
