Chip module of toner cartridge

Abstract

A chip module of a toner cartridge includes a substrate, a memory, and a plurality of terminals. The substrate is provided with a plurality of circuit traces thereon. The memory is mounted to the substrate and electrically connected with the circuit traces. The terminals are spacedly arranged with respect to each other. Each of the terminals includes a connection portion mounted to the substrate and electrically connected with one of the circuit traces, and two contact ends electrically connected with the connection portion and spaced from each other. Because each terminal has two contact ends to be electrically connected and mechanically contacted with a conductive strip of a reading head of an electronic image-forming apparatus, the electrical connection between the chip module and the reading head of the electronic image-forming apparatus can be secured, thereby avoiding poor electrical contact.
