Abstract
This process cartridge includes a frame body, a cartridge electrical contact, and a pushed portion provided on the frame body. The process cartridge is detachably attached to a main body of an electrophotographic image forming apparatus including a main body electrical contact, and a main body pusher. When the process cartridge is attached to the main body of the electrophotographic image forming apparatus, it is possible to achieve an electrically strong connection of the cartridge electrical contact to the main body electrical contact by the pushed portion being pushed by the main body pusher. Owing to this simple structure, it is possible to realize the electrical connection of the cartridge electrical contact to the main body electrical contact.
