The circuit board includes a contact for supplying power, in which the contact includes plural copper foil patterns each having a predetermined width, the plural copper foil patterns being formed radially from a center of the contact and connected to each other at the center of the contact. Accordingly, it is possible to enhance contact reliability of the contact while suppressing cost for connecting a high-voltage board to an image forming unit.

Circuit board and image forming apparatus

An image heating apparatus includes a heater provided with a heat generating element generating heat upon electric energization to a base; a supporting member for supporting the heater; a back-up member press-contacted to the heater; wherein an image on a recording material is heated by heat from the heater; wherein at least such a portion of the supporting member as supports the heater is of thermoplastic material.
