Device supporting a light-emitting diode for an automobile signalling system, and a method of manufacturing such a device
First Claim
1. Device supporting a power light-emitting diode for an automobile signalling or lighting system, comprising an insulating support, in particular made from plastics material, and means of electrical connection to the diode electrodes, characterised by the fact that the electrical connection means comprise, on the insulating support (2), electrical connection lugs (17a, 17b;
-
217a, 217b);
the body (1c) of the light-emitting diode (1) is fixed to an area (8c) of a heat-radiating element (8;
308, 408, 508);
this heat-radiating element is attached to the insulating support (2;
302, 402, 502), and the electrodes (1a, 1b) of the diode are insulated from the heat-radiating element and electrically connected to the connection lugs (17a, 17b;
217a, 217b) of the insulating support.

Abstract
The object of the invention is a device supporting a power light-emitting diode for an automobile signalling or lighting system, comprising an insulating support (2) and means of electrical connection to the electrodes (1a, 1b) of the diode (1). The electrical connection means comprise, on the insulating support (2), electrical connection lugs (17a, 17b); the body of the light-emitting diode (1) is fixed to an area of a heat-radiating element (8); this heat-radiating element (8) is attached to the insulating support (2), and the electrodes (1a, 1b) of the diode are insulated from the heat-radiating element and electrically connected to the connecting lugs (17a, 17b) of the insulating support by tongues (12a, 12b) insulated from the radiating element (8) after the breakage of temporary fasteners (13).
