ULTRASONIC PROBE AND ULTRASONIC ENDOSCOPE HAVING ULTRASONIC PROBE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce diameters of an ultrasonic probe and an ultrasonic endoscope and to certainly and easily carry out electric connection concerning a signal conductor extended from an ultrasonic oscillator. SOLUTION: This ultrasonic probe is furnished with a pad group 102 for wiring the oscillator arranged on a head end part of a printed board 101 for the ultrasonic oscillator arranging a signal pattern to transmit and receive a plurality of signals of the ultrasonic oscillator, a pad group 108 for wiring the flexible printed board provided in a row along the longitudinal axial direction of the printed board 101 for the ultrasonic oscillator, a second signal pattern group 106 connected between the pad group 102 for wiring the oscillator and the pad group 108 for wiring the flexible printed board and bent roughly at 90 degrees in the middle and an relay flexible printed board 121 connected to the pad group 108 for wiring the flexible printed board and to change a direction of the signal pattern to the longitudinal axial direction.
