Problems solved by technology

[0015] However, the connectors disclosed in Patent Documents 1 to 5 are composed of a male-side connector and a female-side connector that are fitted together so that electrical and optical connections can be performed at the same time, but the insertion of the male-side connector and the female-side connector Accuracy is required
In other words, repeated attachment and detachment of the male-side connector and the female-side connector may result in poor electrical connection if abrasion occurs between the two.
In addition, in the optical connection part, even a slight deviation of the axis center will cause a decrease in the amount of light. Especially in the connection of the optical fiber for illumination of the endoscope device, since high light transmission efficiency is required, the patent cannot be adopted. Connectors disclosed in Documents 1 to 5
[0016] Furthermore, even in the connection of the peripheral equipment of the medical device disclosed in Patent Documents 6 and 7 and the insertion part side main body of the endoscope electrically connected to it, repeated attachment and detachment, if there is wear and tear between the two, there will be May cause poor electrical connection
