Abstract
The present specification describes a circuit board design that uses circuit boards for illuminator sets associated with the various optical assemblies. In one configuration, front and side illuminators are assembled on front and side illuminator circuit boards. Leaf connectors associated with each illuminator are provided to interface with a common base board.

A system for use in a medical device, the system comprising:
- a front viewing element;
- a side viewing element;
- a first circuit board connected to the front viewing element and the side viewing element;
- a cover comprising:
- a main component configured to cover a portion of a tip section of the medical device, the main component comprising a distal face and one or more side walls extending proximally from the distal face and extending longitudinally along a length of the tip section;
- and
- a removable window component located adjacent to the one or more side walls of the main component and entirely proximal of the distal face, wherein the removable window component includes a first window opening, and the removable window component is configured to removably cover a second window opening defined by the main component;
- and
- a second circuit board coupled to the removable window component.
