A power supply apparatus receives a voltage from power rails on a circuit board. The power supply apparatus comprises a frame and arms connected to the frame. Each of the arms comprises a contact end. The frame positions the contact end of each of the arms to contact the power rails of the circuit board. The contact end is biased towards the power rails to maintain the contact end in contact with the power rails. The contact end comprises a curved planar surface having a first edge and a second edge that terminates at an end edge. The first edge and the second edge follow a curved line, while the end edge follows a straight line. The contact end comprises a non-linear slot extending from the end edge along the curved planar surface and is positioned equally between the first edge and the second edge.

A printing apparatus includes a media path within a body of the printing apparatus. The media path moves sheets of media through the body of the printing apparatus. A marking engine is also within the body of the printing apparatus. The media path supplies the printing media to the marking engine. A processor is within the body of the printing apparatus. The processor is operatively connected to the marking engine, and the processor controls actions of the marking engine. Sensors are within the body of the printing apparatus. The sensors are operatively connected to the processor, and the sensors are positioned along the media path. The sensors detect locations and conditions of the sheets of media as the sheets of media travel along the media path. The sensors have a first clip shape. Further, clip connectors are located within the body of the printing apparatus. The clip connectors are connected to the sensors. Additionally, light structures are connected to the clip connectors. The light structures have an identical shape as the sensors for connecting to the clip connectors.
