Patent ID: 7288831

Claim:
An optoelectronic semiconductor chip component having a two-pole surface mount technology (SMT) miniature housing in lead frame technique, comprising: an optoelectronic semiconductor chip; a first lead frame part having the optoelectronic semiconductor chip mounted thereon at a chip mounting surface thereof and a second lead frame part being electrically connected to the optoelectronic semiconductor chip; a housing partially surrounding the first and second lead frame parts and having a component surface that faces an electrical board when the housing is mounted on the electrical board; said chip mounting surface and said component surface being substantially at right angles with respect to one another; and said first lead frame part and said second lead frame part being conducted out of the housing at opposite sides of the housing and each having a leg portion outside the housing for serving as a respective solder terminal running adjacent the opposite sides of the housing and extending to at least the component surface.
