The round hole 233 provided in the fixing portion 231 of the second head grip 230 does not reach the protrusion 213 even if the protrusion 213 is fitted. In this state, the supporting portion 232 of the second head grip 230 is pushed down together with the camera head 1, whereby the supporting portion 222 of the second head grip 220 bent in a hairpin shape is elastically deformed downward. Downward, the round hole 233 of the second head grip 230 can be fitted to the protrusion 213. In this state, when the support portion 232 of the second head grip 230 is stopped from being pushed down together with the camera head 1, the first and second head grips 220 and 230 are stopped.
The camera head 1 is sandwiched and restrained by the support portions 222 and 232. In this temporarily fixed state, the first
And fixing portion 22 of second head grips 220 and 230
1, 231 and the long holes 2 provided in the mounting board 211 of the holder body 210.
The camera head 1 is mounted and fixed by inserting the screw 241 into the nut 14 and fixing the same through the nut 242.

At this time, the installation angle of the camera head 1 can be adjusted within the range of the elongated hole 214.

The two outward flange portions 11A and 11B provided on the outer casing 20 of the camera head 1 have:
To identify the top and bottom of the camera head 1, that is, the top and bottom, a mark indicating the top, that is, the top, is marked so as to be visible at an upper position in the vertical direction with respect to the optical axis. Since there are two positions where the mark can be marked, it is also used for identifying the type of the camera head 1. Specifically, a straight line parallel to the optical axis is used as the mark, and the PAL-type camera head and the NTSC-type camera head write the above-mentioned marks on different outward flange portions 11A and 11B. The model can be identified together with the top and bottom.

As described above, in the round connector according to the present invention, each of the linear boundary regions having a predetermined width passing through the central axis, which divides a plane orthogonal to the central axis of the connector body, into two parts. By providing an even number of connection pins symmetrically arranged on a parallel boundary line and a plurality of connection pins arranged on the circumference centered on the central axis and in the boundary area, a small shape is achieved. Even if it is provided, a large number of connection pins are provided, and the work of soldering each connection pin can be easily performed.

In the connecting device for a flexible printed circuit board according to the present invention, a linear boundary region having a predetermined width passing through the central axis, which divides a plane orthogonal to the central axis of the connector body, into two parts. Each connection land portion of the first and second chip component mounting portions on the flexible printed circuit board to which an even number of connection pins symmetrically arranged on the parallel boundaries are soldered is formed on a circumference. Since the arranged connection pins can be formed in a relatively large shape as compared with the connection lands to which the connection pins are soldered, the work of soldering the connection pins can be easily performed. Further, by increasing the area of each of the connection lands, a large current can flow through the connection pins.

Therefore, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide a multi-pin round connector which is small in size and can easily perform the work of soldering the connection pins. Further, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide a flexible printed wiring board connection device which can easily solder connection pins of a small round connector.

Therefore, by applying the present invention, the size of the cylindrical camera head can be reduced and the reliability can be improved.
