LED connection element

A connection element (10) for electrically connecting an LED light source, the LED light source having a circuit board (13) with contact fields (15) for electrically supplying an LED (14), the connection element (10) comprising:

• a frame (24) configured to rest on an arrangement surface (16) of a counter-bearing (11) and to hold the circuit board (13) on the arrangement surface (16),
• wherein the frame is formed by an outer ring (19) and an inner ring (20),
• wherein the inner ring (20) is held within the outer ring (19) and configured to be overlaid on the circuit board (13) at least in some areas and thereby hold the circuit board (13) vertically to the arrangement surface (16) on the counter-bearing (11), and
• wherein the outer ring (19) is configured to surround the circuit board (13) and to hold the circuit board (13) parallel to the arrangement surface (16) on the counter-bearing (11);
• locking lugs (29) which are formed by the inner ring (20);
• locking springs (21) arranged in the outer ring (19) to overlap the locking lugs (29) of the inner ring (20) and to exert a tensile force on the inner ring (20) towards the arrangement surface (16);
• and
• a spring receiving space for the locking spring (21), wherein the spring receiving space extends in relation to the frame (24) resting on the arrangement surface (16) into an area below the arrangement surface (16),
• wherein the spring receiving space is formed in a pin (25) which rises from an underside of the outer ring (19).
