Summary:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an ultrasonic probe in which the connection strength of a housing and a flexible shaft can be improved by simple constitution. SOLUTION: In the ultrasonic probe 1, a connection part 25 integrally formed on the proximal end side of the housing 3b is provided with a tapered part 25d whose distal end side inner peripheral surface is formed in a tapered shape (conical shape), and the tapered part 25d is fixed to the outer side coil layer of the flexible shaft 27 formed into the same tapered shape as the tapered part 25d by using solder, or the like. By this constitution, the connection area of the housing 3b and the outer side coil layer of the flexible shaft 27 is made larger than conventional cases and the connection strength of the housing 3b and the flexible shaft 27 is increased.
