Abstract
A fixing device includes: a casing; a heating portion; a pressure portion; a connector; a harness; and a harness holder. The heating portion extends in a first direction. The pressure portion is configured to form a nipping region between the pressure portion and the heating portion. The connector is detachably attached to the heating portion. The harness is connected to the connector for supplying electric power to the heating portion through the connector. The harness holder is fixed to the casing and positioned upstream relative to the connector in an attachment direction of the connector to the heating portion. The attachment direction crosses the first direction. The harness holder holds the harness between the harness holder and the casing. The harness holder is configured to restrict movement of the connector by making contact with the connector in a case where the connector moves upstream in the attachment direction.
