Submount based surface mount design (SMD) light emitter components and related methods are disclosed. In some aspects, light emitter components can include a submount with a first side having a first surface area, first and second electrical contacts disposed on the first side of the submount, and at least one light emitter chip on the first side. In some aspects, the electrical contact area can be less than half of the first surface area of the first side of the submount. Components disclosed herein can include low profile parts or domes where a ratio between a dome height and a dome width is less than 0.5. A method of providing components can include providing a panel of material and LED chips, dispensing a liquid encapsulant material over the panel, and singulating the panel into individual submount based components after the encapsulant material has hardened.
