Image forming apparatus

An image forming apparatus comprising:

• an apparatus body having a unit receiving section, and
• a photosensitive-member unit retaining a plurality of photosensitive members, the photosensitive-member unit configured to be slidable with respect to the apparatus body between a first position at which the photosensitive-member unit is received by the unit receiving section and a second position at which the photosensitive-member unit is away from the unit receiving section, and
• wherein the apparatus body comprises
• side wall portions opposing each other with the unit receiving section sandwiched therebetween,
• a plurality of first apparatus-body-side electrode members that is provided on at least one of the side wall portions in correspondence with the plurality of photosensitive members, the plurality of first apparatus-body-side electrode members arranged in line along a sliding direction of the photosensitive-member unit, and
• a plurality of second apparatus-body-side electrode members that is provided on at least one of the side wall portions in correspondence with the plurality of the photosensitive members, the plurality of second apparatus-body-side electrode members arranged in line along the sliding direction of the photosensitive-member unit and below the plurality of first apparatus-body-side electrode members;
• the photosensitive-member unit comprises
• a plurality of first unit-side electrode members corresponding to the plurality of first apparatus-body-side electrode members, respectively, and connected to the respective first apparatus-body-side electrode members when the photosensitive-member unit is mounted in the unit receiving section, and
• a plurality of second unit-side electrode members corresponding to the plurality of second apparatus-body-side electrode members, respectively, and
• connected to the respective second apparatus-body-side electrode members when the photosensitive-member unit is mounted in the unit receiving section;
• the plurality of first-unit-side electrode members is configured so as to pass through above the plurality of first-apparatus-body-side electrode members when the photosensitive-member unit moves from the second position to the first position;
• and
• the plurality of second-unit-side electrode members is configured so as to pass through between the plurality of first-apparatus-body-side electrode members and the plurality of second apparatus-body-side electrode members when the photosensitive-member unit moves from the second position to the first position.
