A connector includes a connector body, a first elastic member, and a second elastic member. The connector body has an insertion hole that allows a connection member to be inserted thereinto. The connection member has a plate shape or a sheet shape. Each of the first and second elastic members is a conductive member that includes a base fixed to the connector body. The first and second elastic members are elongated in a thickness direction of the connection member and butted against each other so as to partially block the insertion hole. The thickness direction intersects an insertion direction of the connection member.

A connector holder that holds and integrates a plurality of connectors, the connector holder including a pressing part, side wall parts, and connecting parts. The pressing part is arranged in a center of the connector holder. The side wall parts are respectively disposed on each of both sides with respect to the pressing part at intervals in the array direction of pins of the connectors that the connector holder holds. The connecting parts respectively connect a lower end portion of the pressing part and a lower end portion of each of the side wall parts disposed on the both sides in the array direction. Holding parts are respectively formed on the both sides in the array direction of the pressing part, the holding parts holding the connectors together with the pressing part, the side wall parts, and the connecting parts.

A fixing cable tie binds electric cables and fixes the electric cables to a mounting plate. The fixing cable tie includes a pair of elastic pieces and a pair of cable ties. The elastic pieces serve as a locking section for fixing the electric cables to the mounting plate, and elastically deform inward by external urging to shrink in diameter. The pair of cable ties binds the electric cables. The pair of cable ties (first cable tie section and second cable tie section) is joined respectively to the pair of elastic pieces.

A connector holder integrally holds a plurality of electric wire side connectors. The connector holder includes a plurality of holding portions which are formed in a lower surface side of the connector holder, and in which a plurality of wire-side ends of the plurality of electric wire side connectors are respectively fitted. The plurality of holding portions are arranged at intervals in a pin alignment direction in which a plurality of pins are aligned in each of the plurality of electric wire side connectors held by the plurality of holding portions. A part of an upper surface of the connector holder that is positioned between the plurality of holding portions is a pressed portion that is pressed so that the plurality of electric wire side connectors are inserted in a predetermined insertion direction. The pressed portion is formed as a plane perpendicular to the insertion direction.

A bundling band includes: a first band portion having a first band, and a first head portion connected to a first end thereof; and a second band portion having a second band, and a second head portion connected to first and second ends thereof. In the first head portion and second head portion, a first insertion hole (insertable with the second band, second head portion, and first band) and a second insertion hole (insertable with the second band) are formed, respectively. The first insertion hole is provided with a locking mechanism locking drawing-out of the inserted first band by engaging with one of engaging grooves. The second insertion hole is provided with a locking mechanism locking drawing-out of the inserted second band by engaging with one of engaging grooves.

A lighting control circuit () controls lighting and extinguishing a plurality of light-emitting elements (Dto D, Dto D, and Dto D). The lighting control circuit () has: a first scanning circuit () that sequentially scans the light-emitting elements by a predetermined first unit number at a time; a second scanning circuit () that sequentially scans the light-emitting elements being scanned by the first scanning circuit () by a second unit number at a time, which is lower than the first unit number; and a control circuit () that controls lighting and extinguishing the individual light-emitting elements being scanned by the first and second scanning circuits ().

Lighting control circuit and image forming apparatus

Provided is a lighting-on/off control circuit that can increase number of LEDs that can go on/off, without increasing number of control signal lines. It includes a control circuit outputting plural first and second signals, a first push-pull circuit receiving plural first signals, a second push-pull circuit receiving plural second signals, and an LED group capable of being connected in between one of outputs of first push-pull circuit and one of outputs of second one. When first signal has a first value and second signal has a second value, a first current flows from first to second push-pull circuit; when second signal has a first value and first signal has a second value, a second current flows from second to first push-pull circuit.
