  • Patent number: 9287480
    Abstract: A light emitting device mount includes a positive lead terminal, a negative lead terminal, and a resin portion. Each of the positive lead terminal and the negative lead terminal includes a first main surface, a second main surface opposite to the first main surface in a thickness direction of each of the positive lead terminal and the negative lead terminal, and an end surface which is provided between the first main surface and the second main surface and which includes a first recessed surface area and a second recessed surface area. The first recessed surface area extends from the first main surface. The second recessed surface area extends from the second main surface, includes a closest point closest to the first main surface, and includes an extension part that extends outward of the closest point and toward the second main surface.

  • Patent number: 9117806
    Abstract: A mount includes a terminal, and a resin portion. The terminal includes a first surface, a second surface, and an end surface having first and second recessed areas that are extend from the first and second surfaces, respectively. The resin portion is integrally formed with the terminal, and at least partially covers the end surface so that the first and second surfaces are at least partially exposed. The resin portion forms a recessed part to accommodate the light emitting device. The second recessed area includes a closest point that is positioned closest to the first surface, and an extension part that extends outward of the closest point and toward the second surface side. The extension part is formed at least on opposing end surfaces of the pair of positive and negative lead terminal. The first recessed area is arranged on the exterior side relative to the closest point.
