Electrical connection piece for a video endoscope, video endoscope, and method for producing an electrical connection in a video endoscope

A method for producing an electrical connection in a video endoscope having a hermetically closed video unit in a shaft of an endoscope, the method comprising:

• plugging a base surface of an at least partially flexible printed circuit board with openings onto contact pins of a hermetic feedthrough of the hermetically closed video unit,
• soldering the contact pins to contacting surfaces of conductive tracks at the openings of the printed circuit board,
• bending a first arm and a second arm towards each other such that the first arm and the second arm branch off in different directions from the base surface,
• placing end surfaces of the first arm and the second arm on top of each other and connecting the end surfaces together such that the end surfaces, in a state of lying on top of one another, point away from the base surface and form a substantially symmetrical triangle together with the base surface, and the end surfaces of the first arm and the second arm are substantially disposed on a central axis of rotation of the video unit, and
• arranging contacting surfaces of the conductive tracks on the sides of the end surfaces facing away from each other such that electrically conducting
• connections of the end surfaces to electrical conductors of a further electrical connection element are established.
