ABSTRACT:
A socket for vertically mounting a light emitting diode relative to a generally horizontal printed circuit board includes an elongated housing for receiving the LED, and a triangular housing connected to the elongated housing. Aligned apertures extend through the elongated housing and the triangular housing, and a corresponding plurality of terminals are disposed in the aligned channels. The receptacle portion of each terminal is disposed in the elongated housing for engaging a pin of the LED, while the post portion extends through the channel and out of a side edge of the triangular housing, whereby the axes of the terminal post portions of the terminals are at an angle to the axes of the terminal receptacle portions. Since the terminals are wholly disposed within the socket, except for the terminal post portions, the terminals may be formed of a thin, stamped electrically conductive material.
