ABSTRACT:
An LED holder uses two pivotably connected portions to mount an upper and a lower LED on a printed circuit board. The first portion has a pair of receptacles for holding the bodies of the LEDs, and a pair of bores extending from the bottom of each receptacle. The second portion has a pair of bores for receiving the leads of the top LED when the second portion is in an open position with respect to the first portion. Pivoting the second portion toward the first portion bends the leads of the top LED between the bores, and brings a guide surface to bear on the leads of the bottom LED, bending the bottom LED leads. Further pivoting the second portion latches it into place against the first portion, and holds the bent leads in position for connecting to a printed circuit board.
