Packaged LED device with castellations
First Claim
1. A packaged light emitting diode (LED) device, comprising:
- a first lead having a first recess in a bottom surface;
a second lead having a second recess in a bottom surface;
a LED die located over a top surface of at least one of the first and the second leads and electrically connected to the first lead and to the second lead; and
a package located around the LED die, the first lead and the second lead, the package comprising an upper surface, a bottom surface, and first, second, third and fourth side surfaces extending between the upper surface and the bottom surface;
wherein;
the package contains an opening in the upper surface exposing at least the LED die; and
the package contains a first castellation and a second castellation in the first side surface of the package;
the first castellation exposes at least one of the first lead and a first platable metal which is electrically connected to the first lead;
the second castellation exposes at least one of the second lead and a second platable metal which is electrically connected to the second lead;
the first recess in the first lead is exposed in the first side surface of the package by the first castellation, and the first recess is exposed in no more than one additional outer surface of the package;
the second recess in the second lead is exposed in the first side surface of the package by the second castellation, and the second recess is exposed in no more than one additional outer surface of the package, andthe first recess and the second recess are exposed in the bottom surface of the package, wherein the bottom surface of the package is different than the first side surface of the package, and the package includes no recesses exposed in both the bottom surface of the package and any of the second, third and fourth side surfaces of the package.

Abstract
Packaged LED devices include a first lead having a first recess in a bottom surface, a second lead having a second recess in a bottom surface, a LED die located over a top surface of at least one of the leads and electrically connected to the leads, and a package located around the LED die, the first lead and the second lead. The package contains an opening in its upper surface exposing at least the LED die. The package also contains a first castellation and a second castellation in a side surface of the package, such that the first castellation exposes at least one of the first lead and a first platable metal which is electrically connected to the first lead, and the second castellation exposes at least one of the second lead and a second platable metal which is electrically connected to the second lead.
