An optical adaptor for endoscope according to the present invention
includes, in an outer casing, a light emitter, serving as a light source
for illumination, and two terminals connected to the positive and
negative electrodes of the light emitters to be externally projected from
the inside of the outer casing. The connection of a diode between the
positive and negative electrodes of the light emitters prevents the
static electricity from being applied to the light emitter.
