A holder for an optical system of an endoscope, the holder including: a take-up region configured to receive an optical element; and at least one fixing region configured to fix the holder in the optical system by a soldered connection, the fixing region being separate from the take-up region; wherein a material of the holder is a base material that is provided with a coating, a material of the coating having better solderability than the base material, the coating being removed from the take-up region to expose a surface of the take-up region, the exposed surface being blackened by a laser-assisted surface treatment.

Holder for an optical system of an endoscope and method for manufacturing a holder for an optical system of an endoscope

The invention relates to an electrical connection piece for a video endoscope having a hermetically closed video unit in a shaft of the endoscope, a video endoscope, and a method for producing an electrical connection in a video endoscope. The electrical connection piece according to the invention includes an at least partially flexible printed circuit board having conductive tracks, wherein the printed circuit board has a base surface with openings for contact pins of a hermetic feedthrough, and a flexible first arm and a flexible second arm that branch off in different, in particular opposite, directions from the base surface, wherein the first arm and the second arm each have a flat end surface at the respective ends facing away from the base surface, wherein the conductive tracks extend between the openings on the base surface and electrical contacting surfaces in the end surfaces.
