Abstract
An image forming apparatus of the present disclosure is provided with a main body-side substrate, a cover member, a metallic main body frame, and a metallic thumbscrew. The main body-side substrate is provided in a main body of the image forming apparatus, and an electrical component is mountable thereto. The cover member covers an outer side of the main body-side substrate. The cover member is secured to the main body frame. The thumbscrew is used to secure the cover member to the main body frame. The cover member is demounted from the main body frame by unscrewing the thumbscrew, and thus mounting of the electrical component with respect to the main body-side substrate is enabled.
