An endoscopic apparatus includes an endoscope body and a drive unit for driving the endoscope body. The endoscope body has a connector which is connected to a socket of the drive unit. The socket is provided with an electrical socket unit, an optical socket unit and a fluid socket unit which have central axes parallel to one another, respectively. The electrical socket unit is supported by support members to be movable in a direction perpendicular to the central axis of the unit. The connector has an electrical connector unit, an optical connector unit and a fluid connector unit which are adapted to be connected to the corresponding socket units. When the connector is connected to the socket, the electrical socket unit is guided by a guide mechanism to a position wherein it is located coaxial with the electrical connector unit.
