A downstream-side end of an electrical contact of the second unit is a first end and an upstream-side end thereof is a second end in a direction around the pivot axis when the second unit rotates from a spaced-apart position where a photosensitive drum and a developing roller are spaced apart from each other to a contact position where they come into contact with each other, a body contact of an apparatus body comes into contact with the electrical contact at a position between the first end and a midpoint between the first and the second ends in the contact position, and maintains the contact between the spaced-apart position and the contact position. When a distance from the pivot axis to the first end, the second end, and the middle point is D1, D2, and Dc, respectively Dc≤D1 and Dc≤D2 are satisfied.
