Abstract
An inkjet head is provided with a flexible printed circuit cable where a head body for ejecting ink and a connector are mounted at places different from each other, and the flexible printed circuit cable is bent between the head body and the connector so as to absorb tensile and pushing forces applied to the connector. The inkjet head is also provided with an ink ejecting portion for ejecting ink, a head-side connector and a supporting body or a cover for supporting or storing an electric connection portion or a flexible printed circuit cable interposed between the ink ejecting portion and the connector, and the head-side connector is supported by the supporting body or the cover so that the connector is movable in three-dimensional directions.
