Problems solved by technology

Therefore, if the connection and detachment between the cable 112 and the electrical connector 120 are repeated, the length of the cable 112 is shorter than the length required for the connection, so it is necessary to replace the cable 112 that does not need to be replaced originally, and there is an unnecessary expense. The problem of parts fee

Abstract

The present invention provides an electric connector for an endoscope, an endoscope, and a method for assembling an electric connector which make it possible to simplify work operations such as operation checks and repairs of the endoscope, as well as to reduce the time for the work operations. An endoscope in accordance with the present invention has an insertion portion, an operation portion provided at a proximal end portion of the insertion portion, and a connection cable connected to the operation portion and having an electric connector at a proximal end thereof. The endoscope has a cable wire which is inserted through the endoscope and extends from the electric connector toward a distal end and a connector to which an end portion of the cable wire is releasably connected.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an electrical connector of an endoscope for connecting an endoscope and an external device used in combination with the endoscope, an assembly method of the endoscope, and the electrical connector. Background technique [0002] Generally, when various electronic devices are electrically connected, an electrical connector connected with multiple cables is used. In electronic equipment in the medical field, that is, an electronic endoscope device, an electronic endoscope having a built-in solid-state imaging element (hereinafter referred to as CCD for short), the solid-state imaging element is inserted into the body cavity to take pictures of the body cavity, and the video processor performs predetermined signal processing on the imaging signals captured by the electronic endoscope to generate endoscopic image signals. Multiple cables for sending and receiving various signals and supplying driving power are connected to ...
