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;
- 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.
An electric board configured to be removably installed in an insertion slot 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, wherein electric components can be mounted on board member;
- a plate member that has a first surface and a second surface, the second surface being fixed to the second end portion of the board member, the plate member closing the insertion slot when the electric board is installed in the insertion slot;
- 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 insertion slot.
An image forming apparatus comprising a main body and an electric board that can be removably installed in the main body, the electric board including
- 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;
