Abstract

A capsule medical apparatus including: a cylindrical capsule-shaped exterior casing; a plurality of electrical substrates stored in the exterior casing; a connecting member using a plurality of soldering balls or a plurality of pins, the connecting member being electrically conductive and mechanically fixing the electrical substrates adjacent and opposed to one another, in a state where each of the plurality of electrical substrates are arranged in a direction orthogonal to a longitudinal direction of the exterior casing such that the electrical substrates are substantially parallel to one another; a battery; and a flexible substrate which is provided with a power pattern which is electrically conductive with the battery and transmits power by the battery, and on which the power pattern is connected so as to be electrically conductive at end surfaces of the plurality of electrical substrates opposed to one another in the longitudinal direction of the exterior casing.
