Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To eliminate the stress imposed on an LED element so as to protect an LED against malfunction caused by an increase in ambient temperature by a method wherein an LED spacer is lessened in height. SOLUTION: The height K of an LED spacer 3 is set lower than the height J of an LED element 1, the LED spacer 3 is fitted into a fixing fitting hole 8 provided to a printed board 5, and a fixing pawl 7 which fixes the LED spacer 3 stopping it from falling off is provided. By this setup, an initial stress which is usually imposed can be restrained from being imposed, and even if the LED spacer 3 of resin expands more than leads 2 of metal with the increase in ambient temperature around the LED element 1 to increase in height K, the height K hardly exceeds the height J, so that stress is hardly imposed on the LED element 1 due to the increase in ambient temperature. Or, an LED fixing device may have such a structure that the clamps of the leads 2 are made to press the LED spacer 3 against the printed board 5 with their fixing projections for fixing it.
