Abstract:
1. An image-forming apparatus comprising: an apparatus main body; a unit part that includes an electronic component and that can be installed in the apparatus main body by being guided in a first predetermined direction; a unit-side electrode that is provided to the unit part to be connected electrically with the electronic component; a main body-side electrode that is provided to the apparatus main body and is connected electrically with the unit-side electrode when the unit part is installed in the apparatus main body, wherein the main body-side electrode includes a terminal that protrudes in a direction perpendicular to the first predetermined direction; a projecting part that is present adjacent to the main body-side electrode, wherein the projecting part is at least as long as the main-body side electrode in the first predetermined direction and extends beyond a top part of the main body-side electrode, and a width of the projecting part is larger than a width of the main body-side electrode in a direction perpendicular to the first predetermined direction; and a ground electrode that is provided to the apparatus main body and is connected electrically with a ground, wherein a width of the ground electrode is smaller than a width of the terminal in the direction perpendicular to the first predetermined direction, the ground electrode being disposed at a position upstream of the main body-side electrode with respect to the first predetermined direction.
