ABSTRACT:
An adapter (1, FIG. 1) is provided for the connection of an optoelectronic component such as an LED (light emitting diode) (2) to a circuit board (8) that lies in a case (34), wherein the adaptor positions the LED close to a window (32) in the top wall (30) of the case. The adapter has a pair of passages (4, 5) for holding conductors (11, 12) that connect terminals of the LED to SMD (surface mount device) contacts (6) that connect to the circuit board. The adapter holds the LED high enough above the circuit board, for the upper face (36) of the LED to lie in or close to the level of the window, so light from the LED can be readily seen from outside the case.
