Patent ID: 8562176

Claim:
Arrangement of a light diode on a circuit board ( 17 ), which light diode ( 10 ) comprises connecting contacts ( 16 ) and a lighting body ( 11 ), which is connected with a separate cooling body ( 13 ) assigned to the light diode, wherein the circuit board has an aperture ( 19 ) through which the light diode with the cooling body ( 13 ) is guidable so that the connecting contacts ( 16 ) come in contact with strip conductors ( 18 ) which are situated on a side of the circuit board facing away from the cooling body ( 13 ), characterized in that the light diode ( 10 ) is maintained by means of a clamping mechanism ( 20 , 23 ) on the circuit board ( 17 ), which comprises a holder ( 20 ) that is guided from a side of the circuit board ( 17 ) facing away from the lighting body through the aperture ( 19 ), and a retaining clamp ( 23 ), which acts in conjunction with the holder and clamps the light diode between itself and the holder and thus holds it on the circuit board and presses the connecting contacts onto the strip connectors of the circuit board.
