Abstract
An ultrasonic probe and an ultrasonic diagnosis device which can improve electrical safety for an operator are provided. The ultrasonic probehas an insulating portionbetween a mounting boardand a case. Since electrical leakage from the internal device of the ultrasonic probecan be prevented, electrical safety of the ultrasonic probefor the operator can be improved. A conductive filmis provided on the ultrasonic wave radiation side of a cMUT chip, and a conductive memberis provided along the insulating member. A conductive filmand a conductive memberare connected by a conductive member. A closed space having a ground potential is formed by the conductive film, the conductive memberand a coaxial cableconnected to ground. Main components or the body circuits of the ultrasonic probeare contained in the closed space having the ground potential and shielded electrically from the outside.
