Contact element, clamping element, base and arrangement for holding and contacting an led

Abstract

The present invention relates to a contact element (″), a base ('″), a clamping element (″), an arrangement (′″″) and a mounting section (″) for electrically contacting a light-emitting diode (LED) (′). In order to conveniently and cost-effectively hold and electrically contact the LED (′), the present invention provides that the contact element (′) comprises a mounting section (′) adapted for mounting the contact element (′) to the base (′) in a manner that the contact element (′) is pivotable about a pivot axis (P) extending through the mounting section (′), and comprises a contact arm (′) protruding laterally from the mounting section (′) and having on a distal end a contact point () facing essentially in a contact direction (K) for contacting the LED (), wherein the contact direction is running essentially in parallel to the pivot axis (P). Further, the invention provides that the base (″) comprises at least one contact receptacle (″) which is adapted to accommodate a contact element (′) according to at least one of claimstoin at least to different rotational positions (R, R), and that the clamping element (″) comprises an attachment section (′) adapted to be attached to the base (′) at the at least one contact receptacle (″), and a holding section (′) adapted to hold down the contact arm (′) of the contact element (′) towards the LED (′).
