Patent ID: 8294263

Claim:
A light-emitting diode packaging structure, comprising: a light-emitting diode including a first electrode lead and a second electrode lead, the second electrode lead having a first contact surface and a second contact surface on an outer edge of the second electrode lead; a first metal plate having a primary surface on which the first electrode lead is mounted, the first metal plate including a third clamping portion and a fourth clamping portion that clamp and fix the first electrode lead on the first metal plate; and a second metal plate having a primary surface on which the second electrode lead is mounted, the second metal plate including at least a first clamping portion and a second clamping portion, the first contact surface of the second electrode lead contacting the first clamping portion and the second contact surface of the second electrode lead contacting the second clamping portion such that the light-emitting diode is fixed on the second metal plate in at least two dimensions parallel to the primary surface of the second metal plate, wherein each of the electrode leads includes at least one position hole, and wherein each of the metal plates further includes at least one holding portion corresponding to the position hole to pass through the position hole and hold the respective electrode lead thereon.
