PURPOSE: To reduce the manufacturing cost of an ultrasonic probe by reducing the numbers of parts and dies and to enhance the grippability of the probe. CONSTITUTION: An ultrasonic element 3, a broad cable 4, a connector 5, and a fixed member 6 with a connecting cable 2 assembled thereto are inserted into a die, and an ultrasonic lens part 11, a case 12 and a bushing part 13 are integrally molded by insert molding. Since the ultrasonic probe 10 is manufactured using the single die, the number of parts is reduced and assembly processes are also reduced to achieve a reduction in the manufacturing cost. |
