Light emitting device, method for manufacturing light emitting device, and package array

A package array comprising:

• a plurality of packages linked together, each package including a molded resin board and a lead piece embedded in the molded resin board, each package having a light emission face, a rear face provided on the opposite side from the light emission face, and a mounting recess formed in the light emission face, the mounting recess having a bottom face and an inner peripheral face which is contiguous with the bottom face, wherein
• the lead piece has a first convex part protruding toward the light emission face and a first concave part formed in the rear face of the first convex part, the first convex part at least partially protruding through the molded resin board at the inner peripheral face of the mounting recess,
• the lead piece further includes a second convex part protruding toward the light emission face side from the first convex part and a second concave part formed toward the second convex part from the first concave part, and
• the molded resin board at least partially covers a light emission face side of the first convex part.

A light emitting device comprising

• a light emitting element;
• and
• a substantially cuboid package including a molded article and a lead embedded in the molded article,
• the package having a light emission face, a rear face provided on the opposite side from the light emission face, a lower face which is contiguous with the rear face and the light emission face, a side face which is contiguous with the lower face and the light emission face, and a mounting recess formed in the light emission face, the mounting recess having a bottom face on which the light emitting element is mounted, and
• the lead having a connector which forms part of the bottom face of the mounting recess, and a terminal part which is contiguous with a lower face side of the connector, and
• the terminal part having a first convex part protruding toward the light emission face and at least partially exposed from the molded article at the lower face and the side face, and the molded article at least partially covers a light emission face side of the first convex part,
• wherein the terminal part is exposed from the molded article at the rear face, and
• the terminal part includes a concave part formed in a rear face of the first convex part.
