Abstract

An optoelectronic component has an optoelectronic semiconductor chip, a contact frame, a contact carrier, a first electrical connection zone and a second electrical connection zone electrically insulated from the first electrical connection zone, which each have a part of the contact frame and a part of the contact carrier, wherein the contact frame has a recess which separates the first electrical connection zone at least in places from the second electrical connection zone and into which the optoelectronic semiconductor chip projects, and wherein the contact frame has a contact element which connects the contact frame electrically with the optoelectronic semiconductor chip.

Claims (27)

1. An optoelectronic component comprising:

an optoelectronic semiconductor chip,

a contact frame,

a contact carrier,

a first electrical connection zone and a second electrical connection zone electrically insulated from the first electrical connection zone, which each comprise part of the contact frame and part of the contact carrier, wherein

1) the contact frame is provided with a recess which separates the first electrical connection zone at least in places from the second electrical connection zone and into which the optoelectronic semiconductor chip projects, 2) the contact frame is provided with a contact element which connects the contact frame electrically with the optoelectronic semiconductor chip, and 3) the optoelectronic semiconductor chip is arranged on the contact carrier of the second connection zone and electrically connected wirelessly with the contact carrier and the optoelectronic semiconductor chip is not arranged on the contact frame of the second connection zone.

2. The optoelectronic component according to claim 1 , wherein

the contact element is part of the first connection zone and electrically connects the optoelectronic semiconductor chip wirelessly with the first connection zone.

3. The optoelectronic component according to claim 1 , wherein

the contact frame and the contact carrier are a one-piece construction.

4. The optoelectronic component according to claim 3 , wherein

the contact frame and the contact carrier are made in one piece from sheet metal and the sheet metal is subdivided to form the first and second connection zones.

5. The optoelectronic component according to claim 1 , wherein

the contact frame and the contact carrier are two separate elements.

6. The optoelectronic component according to claim 5 , wherein

the contact frame is arranged on the contact carrier.

7. The optoelectronic component according to claim 5 , wherein the contact frame is adhesively bonded, eutectically bonded or soldered in selected locations to the contact carrier.

8. The optoelectronic component according to claim 5 , wherein
