Mounting device for a light emitting diode

Abstract

A mounting device for a light emitting diode (LED) includes an LED and a conductor connecting to the LED. The LED includes two electrode leads bending outward and each electrode lead has a distal end. A protrusion is formed from the bottom surface of the distal end. The conductor has two electrode boards. A mounting leadframe is formed and protrudes from the surface of each electrode board and corresponds to one of the electrode leads, and a mounting hole is formed in each electrode board at a position corresponding to one of the protrusions. In addition, the distal end of each electrode lead is inserted respectively into the corresponding mounting leadframe, and each protrusion engages the corresponding mounting hole. With the insertion of the LED into the conductor and the engagements between protrusions and mounting holes, the LED is securely and stably mounted on the conductor.
