An optoelectronic component includes a carrier having a first connection region and a second connection region, a radiation-emitting semiconductor chip having a base surface and a radiation exit surface opposite the base surface, wherein the semiconductor chip is arranged by the base surface on the carrier, a housing having a lower housing part arranged on the carrier and adjoining side flanks of the semiconductor chip, and an upper housing part arranged on the lower housing part and shaped as a reflector for radiation emitted by the semiconductor chip, and an electrical connection layer which leads from the radiation exit surface of the semiconductor chip via a part of the interface between the lower and the upper housing part and through the lower housing part to the first connection region on the carrier.
