Abstract

A light source module has a heat radiating member that has heat radiating properties and has a through-hole penetrating therethrough, a heat generating component having a heat generating component main body disposed on a side of a first opening of the through-hole, and a pin terminal connected to the heat generating component main body and inserted through the through-hole, an electrically conductive member disposed on a side of a second opening of the through-hole and connected to the pin terminal protruding from the second opening, and a covering material that covers and fixes at least a portion of the electrically conductive member and the heat radiating member. A connection portion of the electrically conductive member with the pin terminal is not covered by the covering material.

First claim

an electrically conductive member disposed on a side of a second opening of the through-hole and connected to the pin terminal protruding from the second opening; and
a covering material that covers and fixes at least a portion of the electrically conductive member and the heat radiating member,
wherein a connection portion of the electrically conductive member with the pin terminal is not covered by the covering material,
wherein the electrically conductive member has elasticity, and
wherein the electrically conductive member at the connection portion intersects the pin terminal.

2. The light source module according to claim 1 , wherein:
a portion of the heat radiating member including the second opening of the through-hole is an exposed portion, exposed without being covered by the covering material;
a heat conducting member with heat conductivity higher than heat conductivity of air is disposed between the exposed portion and the connection portion; and
the heat conducting member is in contact with the exposed portion.

3. The light source module according to claim 2 , wherein:
the heat conducting member is a composite member including a resin different than the covering material and electrically insulating particles dispersed in the resin.

4. The light source module according to claim 1 , wherein:
the electrically conductive member includes a power supply member having a tubular shape and a bus bar connected to the power supply member;
at least an outer circumferential surface of the power supply member is covered by the covering material, and a first opening of the power supply member is disposed at a surface of the covering material; and
the pin terminal is inserted into inner space of the power supply member from a side of the first opening of the power supply member and the bus bar and the pin terminal are connected.

5. The light source module according to claim 4 , wherein:
the power supply member includes a small diameter portion that becomes an inner circumferential surface with an inner diameter smaller than an outer diameter of the pin terminal; and
the pin terminal inserted into the inner space of the power supply member is pressed upon by the small diameter portion.

6. The light source module according to claim 1 , wherein the covering material covers a top surface of the heat radiating member.

7. A light source module, comprising:
a heat radiating member that has heat radiating properties, and that comprises a through-hole penetrating therethrough;
a heat generating component comprising:
a heat generating component main body disposed on a side of a first opening of the through-hole, and
a pin terminal connected to the heat generating component main body and inserted through the through-hole;
an electrically conductive member disposed on a side of a second opening of the through-hole and connected to the pin terminal protruding from the second opening; and
a covering material that covers and fixes at least a portion of the electrically conductive member and the heat radiating member,
wherein a connection portion of the electrically conductive member with the pin terminal is not covered by the covering material, and
wherein the electrically conductive member extends from the pin terminal into the covering material in a direction perpendicular to an insertion direction of the pin terminal.

8. A light source module, comprising:
a heat radiating member that has heat radiating properties, and that comprises a through-hole penetrating therethrough;
a heat generating component comprising:
a heat generating component main body disposed on a side of a first opening of the through-hole, and
a pin terminal connected to the heat generating component main body and inserted through the through-hole;
an electrically conductive member disposed on a side of a second opening of the through-hole and connected to the pin terminal protruding from the second opening; and
a covering material that covers and fixes at least a portion of the electrically conductive member and the heat radiating member,
wherein a connection portion of the electrically conductive member with the pin terminal is not covered by the covering material, and
wherein an insulating member or the covering material is disposed in the through-hole between the pin terminal and the heat radiating member.
