LED module

An LED module, comprising:

• a first lead including an obverse surface and a reverse surface that are spaced apart from each other in a thickness direction of the first lead and face in mutually opposite directions;
• an LED chip mounted on the obverse surface of the first lead;
• a case covering at least a part of the first lead and including a side wall surrounding the LED chip;
• wherein the first lead includes a first thin extension including a bottom surface and a top surface that face in mutually opposite directions, the bottom surface of the first thin extension being spaced apart from the reverse surface of the first lead in the thickness direction,
• the case covers at least a part of each of the top surface and the bottom surface of the first thin extension, and
• the case is formed with a first bulging portion in plan view;
• and
• a second lead spaced apart from the first lead, wherein the second lead includes an obverse surface and a reverse surface, the obverse surface of the second lead being connected to the LED chip via a wire,
• wherein the second lead includes a second thin extension including a top surface and a bottom surface that face in mutually opposite directions, the bottom surface of the second thin extension being spaced apart from the reverse surface of the second lead in the thickness direction,
• the case covers at least a part of each of the top surface and the bottom surface of the second thin extension and is formed with a second bulging portion in plan view, and
• the second bulging portion is in a form of a round column.

An LED module, comprising:

• a case having a side wall, a bottom surface and a recess that is defined by the side wall and the bottom surface;
• an LED chip disposed in the recess;
• and
• a first lead that is electrically connected, in the recess, to the LED chip,
• wherein the side wall of the case is formed with a first bulging portion a part of which protrudes toward the LED chip as viewed in a normal direction to the bottom surface of the case, and
• the case is formed with a second bulging portion that protrudes away from the LED chip as viewed in the normal direction.
