PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an ultrasonic signal connector of an ultrasonic endoscope, capable of firmly fixing a lid body to a casing of the ultrasonic signal connector by using a latch, and capable of preventing the latch from being deformed with the force applied to the latch when the lid body is detached without unnecessarily widening the latch. SOLUTION: The ultrasonic signal connector of the ultrasonic endoscope has at least a pair of manual latches 33, detachably engaged to the casing 10 side from the lid body 20 side to fix the lid body 20 to the casing 10 so that the lid body 20 is not detached from the casing 10. The latches 33 are rotatable around a spindle 34. A latch abutting part 40, to which the latch 33 abuts when the latch 33 is rotated around the spindle 34 in the opposite direction from the direction in which the latch 33 is engaged with the casing 10 side, is formed at a location closer to the spindle 34 than one-third of the distance from a rotating free end 33a of the latch 33.
