A video camera head is comprised of at least two rigid printed circuit boards (PCBS) arranged in parallel planes. The at least two PCBs are mechanically supported one above the other by pins made of an electricity conducting material that conduct electrical power from the bottom PCB to electronic components or illumination means mounted on the other PCBs and signals from a solid state sensor chip mounted on one of the other PCBs of the at least two PCBs to the bottom PCB. Several embodiments of the video camera head are described.
