Abstract
An image heating apparatus includes a heater includes an electrically insulating base plate, an electrically resistive layer, on the base plate, for generating heat when supplied with electrical power, and a terminal electrode for connection with the resistance layer, including a silver alloy layer, and a conductive layer having a lower resistance value than the silver alloy layer; a film for transmitting the heat from the heater to heat an image on a recording material while being moved together with the recording material, sliding on the heater; and a power supply connector press-contacted to the silver alloy layer with a predetermined contact pressure.
