Abstract
An assembly for an image forming device includes an electrical connector that is movable between a retracted position and an extended position. In the retracted position an electrical contact of the electrical connector is disengaged from a corresponding electrical contact of a replaceable unit when the replaceable unit is installed in the image forming device. In the extended position the electrical contact of the electrical connector is engaged with the corresponding electrical contact of the replaceable unit. A camming member is operative to move the electrical connector between the extended position and the retracted position.
