Electrical component box and image forming apparatus

An image forming apparatus comprising:

• an image forming unit configured to form an image on a sheet,
• wherein the image forming unit is controlled by a control device provided in a housing,
• wherein the housing includes:
• a container configured to include one of a first plate-shaped portion and a second plate-shaped portion, and
• a lid configured to include the other of the first plate-shaped portion and the second plate-shaped portion and to cover an opening of the container,
• wherein the housing has a structure comprising:
• the first plate-shaped portion having electric conductivity;
• and
• the second plate-shaped portion having electric conductivity,
• wherein the first plate-shaped portion includes an elastic member provided with a bending portion configured to protrude toward the second plate-shaped portion and come into contact with the second plate-shaped portion to establish electrical continuity between the first plate-shaped portion and the second plate-shaped portion, and
• wherein a surface of the bending portion facing the second plate-shaped portion includes a smooth portion and an asperity portion having a roughness that is greater than a roughness of the smooth portion.
