A housing for an electronic component, the housing comprising:

• a socket for the electronic component, the socket comprising:
• an electrically insulating material;
• a base body including at least one opening configured for accommodating an electrically conductive pin configured for being electrically connected to the electronic component, the at least one opening being sealed with the electrically insulating material such that the electrically conductive pin is fed through the at least one opening while being electrically insulated from the base body;
• and
• a shell part including a pedestal configured for accommodating a submount, at least the shell part of the socket including a metal with a thermal conductivity of at least 100 W/mK;
• and
• a cap for sealing the electronic component.
