Abstract

See full text

A semiconductor lamp comprises a housing in which a driver is accommodated and at least one contact pin protruding from the housing outwards, wherein the contact pin is tubular and riveted to the housing and the driver is connected to the contact pin via an electrically conductive connection element which is inserted into a cavity of the contact pin. A method serves for producing a semiconductor lamp, wherein at least one tubular contact pin is inserted into a feedthrough of a housing from outside till the contact pin abuts the housing, the contact pin is next riveted with the housing on the inside and a driver is inserted into the housing, whereby an electrically conductive connection element is inserted into the contact pin. The invention is particularly applicable to LED retrofit lamps for replacing bipin halogen lamps, in particular MR16 lamps.
