Abstract

An optoelectronic component having a leadframe and a method for producing an optoelectronic component are disclosed. In an embodiment, an optoelectronic component includes a radiation-emitting semiconductor chip having a mounting surface and side surfaces, a leadframe comprising a first element having a first main extension plane, a second element having a second main extension plane, and a third element having a third main extension plane, wherein the main extension planes are arranged parallel to one another, and wherein the elements are arranged one above the other in a stacking direction; and a reflective casting compound forming a planar surface facing the mounting surface of the semiconductor chip, wherein the semiconductor chip is mounted with the mounting surface on a support surface of the third element, which is smaller than the mounting surface of the semiconductor chip, such that the semiconductor chip projects laterally beyond the support surface of the third element.
