Abstract
In an embodiment, the invention provides a LFCC package comprising first, second and third lead frames, a light source, and an encapsulant. The first lead frame comprises two tongues and a reflector cup. The first, second and third lead frames are attached to the encapsulant. The light source is mounted at the bottom of the inside of the reflector cup. The light source is electrically connected to the second and third lead frames by wire bonds. The reflector cup is surrounded on at least four sides by the encapsulant, the encapsulant being an integral single piece structure.
