1. A distal end frame of an endoscope, comprising:
a distal end frame body that comprises a resin molded product which constitutes a molded interconnect device having a metal pattern formed on a surface of the resin molded product;
a housing chamber that is formed of a bottomed hole with an opening which is formed on an outer surface of the distal end frame body and is configured to open up an internal space, and that is configured to house an electronic component in an inside of the distal end frame body;
a through hole that penetrates from a part of a bottom face of the housing chamber to a proximal end side of the distal end frame body;
a first face that is formed on the bottom face of the housing chamber and on which the electronic component is mounted;
a first connection land that is formed of the metal pattern constituting the molded interconnect device and is formed on the first face to electrically connect the electronic component;
a second face that is formed in a region containing a part of an inner wall face of the through hole to be adjacent to the first face, and is visible through the opening; and
a wiring pattern that is formed of the metal pattern constituting the molded interconnect device, is electrically connected to the first connection land, and is also continuously formed in a region containing the first face and the second face.
