Electrical connection piece for an endoscope and method for establishing an electrical connection in an endoscope

An electrical connection piece for an endoscope, the electrical connection piece comprising:

• an at least partially flexible circuit board comprising:
• a central section which is penetrated by contact openings for contact pins of a hermetically sealed feedthrough of an image-producing unit of the endoscope, the contact openings being arranged mirror-symmetrically relative to an axis of symmetry;
• a bendable first arm and a bendable second arm, each of the first arm and the second arm extend in different directions from the central section, wherein the first arm having an end facing away from the central section, the end of the first arm comprising a first end surface and the second arm having an end facing away from the central section, the end of the second arm comprising a second end surface, the end of the first arm comprising a third end surface opposing the first end surface and end of the second arm comprising a fourth end surface opposing the second end surface;
• first strip conductors extending between the contact openings and first electrical contacting surfaces on the first and second end surfaces;
• and
• second strip conductors extending between the contact openings and second electrical contacting surfaces on the third and fourth end surfaces;
• wherein the first electrical contacting surfaces have a first configuration for contacting using one or more of a first contact technology and a first contact assignment and the second electrical contacting surfaces have a second configuration for contacting using one or more of a second contact technology and a second contact assignment, the one or more of the first contact technology and the first contact assignment being different from the one or more of the second contact technology and the second contact assignment.
