Abstract: To provide an inexpensive board mounted connector which achieves both a simplification in structure and a reduction in size. A board mounted connector includes a fixed housing fixed to a board; connector terminals which are housed in the fixed housing and connected to a conductive portion of the board; an operating housing which is movable with respect to the fixed housing; and an elastically deformable support portion which presses, supports, and electrically connects relay terminals of electrical elements, which are inserted in the fixed housing, to the connector terminals along with the movement of the operating housing.

Abstract: An endoscope system includes an image pickup section provided with an image sensor and configured to obtain an examination image; a cable that transmits the examination image; and a processor that receives the examination image, performs image processing, and displays the processed image. The processor includes: a cable driver that applies a voltage higher than an input voltage standard of the image pickup section so as to compensate for attenuation of a high-frequency signal caused by the cable and outputs a clock signal for driving the image pickup section; a peaking circuit that performs waveform correction of the clock signal; and a DC level limiting circuit configured to limit, when a clock signal inputted from the first peaking circuit is switched to a DC voltage, an amplitude level of the DC voltage so as not to exceed a level of the input voltage standard of the image pickup section.
