发明名称 Fluid ejecting apparatus
摘要 A printing apparatus includes a cartridge, and a wiring cable which can transmit an electrical signal to the cartridge. The carriage is provided with a connector unit and a wiring board in a holder unit on which the cartridge is mounted. First and second electrode portions, and a connector unit are arranged on a first face of the wiring board. The wiring board is arranged at a position of being overlapped with the cartridge in a direction which goes along an arrow Y. A width of the wiring board in an arrow X direction is the same as a width of a cartridge arranging region in the holder unit, or is smaller than that.
