Abstract
A recording apparatus for recording on a recording material by use of a recording head comprises a carriage for mounting a recording head, and a pressurized connector fixed to the carriage for electrically connecting the recording head mounted on the carriage with a control circuit, which is fixed to the wall face opposite to the recording head mounted on the carriage, hence making it possible to reliably fix the recording head to the carriage with a smaller number of parts with a simple and inexpensive structure, while receiving the contact pressure of the pressurized connector with the robustness of the carriage entire body, and to provide an ink jet recording apparatus to be able to attempt making the carriage smaller and lighter.
