Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes a harness of which one end is connected to an electrical component. Another end of the harness is connected to a second side of a first circuit board with the harness being bent at a bending point when the first circuit board is mounted to a first mounting area, and is connected to a second side of a second circuit board without the harness being bent at the bending point when the second circuit board is mounted to a second mounting area. A first side of the first circuit board and a first side of the second circuit board are positioned at the same position when mounted. A distance between the second side of the first circuit board and the second side of the second circuit board is smaller than a distance between the bending point and the second side of the first circuit board.
