ABSTRACT:
An endoscope including an insertion tube containing a TAB imager package in the distal end thereof. The imager is mounted in a complementary opening formed in a circuit board and the board is aligned along the central axis of the insertion tube. Fine pitch leads extend from between the imager and a transparent window covering the imager to both sides of the imager. The leads are bonded to traces on the board which connect the leads to circuitry mounted on the board. A reflecting surface optically couples the imager to a forward viewing lens system.
