Patent ID: 8502261

Claim:
A semiconductor light emitting device package comprising: an electrically insulating substrate having a front face and a back face and a side face extending therebetween, the front face being configured to mount a semiconductor light emitting device thereon, wherein the semiconductor light emitting device package is a side-mountable semiconductor light emitting device package and the side face is configured to mount on an underlying surface; an electrically insulating and thermally conducting reflector on the front face of the substrate and defining a reflector cavity configured to extend around the semiconductor light emitting device mounted on the front face of the substrate, wherein the electrically insulating substrate and the reflector comprise ceramic; an electrically conductive contact on the back or side face of the substrate and not on the reflector, the electrically conductive contact being positioned to be proximate an electrical connection region of the underlying surface when the semiconductor light emitting device package is mounted on the underlying surface; wherein the electrically conductive contact comprises a solder pad and an electrical connection comprises a solder connection; a conductive trace extending along the front face of the substrate and electrically connected to the electrically conductive contact; and the semiconductor light emitting device mounted on the front face of the substrate and electrically connected to the conductive trace.
