    Abstract: An electrical bridge connects to a packaged imaging sensor in the distal tip of a scope shaft. The bridge has an insulative body including a distal surface with a cross sectional size no greater than that of the packaged image sensor. A plurality of electrical contacts are arranged in an array along the distal surface of the insulative body for connecting to the packaged image sensor. Conductive paths are formed through the insulative body connecting to the electrical contacts. Wire attachment contacts connecting to the conductive paths. The wire attachment contacts are formed within the cross-sectional area of the insulative body and elongated in a longitudinal direction perpendicular the distal surface for soldering to wires oriented in the longitudinal direction. The wire attachment contacts are adjacent to respective voids in the insulative body for receiving the wires, the voids including insulative walls on two sides.
