Abstract: A distal end unit for endoscope is provided in a distal end portion of an insertion portion and includes: an electronic module including an optical system and an electrode; a substrate including a connection portion electrically connected to the electrode of the electronic module, and including a connection land on which an electronic component is mounted; a holding member holding the electronic module and the substrate connected to the electrode; and a distal end frame body made of resin, on which the electronic module, the substrate and the holding member are integrally mounted via insert molding by loading the holding member holding the electronic module and the substrate in a mold such that an entrance surface of the optical system is exposed at an outer surface of the distal end frame body and the connection portion extends to a proximal end side.

Abstract: A surgical instrument includes: a handpiece; a movable member configured to transmit a driving force to a treating member to treat a subject by moving relatively to the handpiece; and a connector arranged inside the handpiece, and including a strip to apply a pressing force to the movable member. The movable member includes a first conductive portion formed therein. The connector includes a second conductive portion formed on the strip. The second conductive portion abutting against the first conductive portion to connect the movable member and the handpiece electrically. The second conductive portion of the connector is a molded interconnect device constituting a three-dimensional circuit.

Abstract: A printed circuit board connection structure is formed by clamping and connecting a first printed circuit board and a second printed circuit board, at least one of which is a flexible printed circuit board, with a conductive adhesion layer therebetween, and includes first marks formed on the first printed circuit board and second marks and formed on the second printed circuit board. The area enclosed by the perimeter of one set of marks out of the first marks and the second marks is greater than the area enclosed by the perimeter of the other set of marks, and with the printed circuit boards in an allowable state of connection, at least a portion of the region enclosed by the perimeter of the other set of marks is located within the region enclosed by the perimeter of the one set of marks when viewed in a direction of stacking of the printed circuit boards.
