Claim:
An electric board configured to be removably installed in a main body of an apparatus, the electric board comprising: a board member that has a plate-like shape having a first end portion and a second end portion that are parallel to each other, and electric components are configured to be mounted thereon; a first connecting unit that is arranged on top of the first end portion, and configured to be electrically connected to a connecting unit of the apparatus; a shielding member that has a first surface and a second surface that are respectively opposite surfaces of the shielding member, the second surface being fixed to the second end portion, the first surface blocking an insertion slot of the apparatus into which the electric board is to be inserted when the first connecting unit is connected to the connecting unit; a cable used for transmission and reception of an electrical signal between the apparatus and an external device; a second connecting unit that is arranged on the first surface, and one end terminal of the cable is plugged therein so that the apparatus is electrically connected to the external device; and a handle member that is fitted on the first surface whereby a user can hold the handle member when pulling-out the electric board from the main body, the handle member having a rod-like shape and projecting from the shielding member, wherein a length of the handle member is longer than a total sum of a length from a contact surface of the second connecting unit where the second connecting unit has contact with the first surface to a plug-in surface of the second connecting unit where the end terminal of the cable is plugged and a maximal length from the plug-in surface to a curved portion of the cable in a direction perpendicular to the plug-in surface.
