LIQUID CARTRIDGE, IMAGE RECORDING DEVICE, AND SUBSTRATE

摘要

A liquid cartridge includes a liquid reservoir, a liquid flow path that selectively places the reservoir in fluid communication with an exterior of the cartridge, a sensor that outputs a signal relative to a position of an object in the liquid flow path, a storage that stores data therein, and a plurality of terminals. The plurality of terminals includes a sensor terminal connected to the sensor, a power terminal connected to at least one of the sensor and the storage, and that receives power, and a data terminal connected to the storage. A distance between a first portion of the power terminal and at least a portion of the data terminal is greater than a distance between a second portion of the power terminal and at least a portion of the sensor terminal.

1. A liquid cartridge comprising:
a liquid reservoir configured to store liquid therein; a liquid flow path configured to selectively allow the liquid reservoir to be in fluid communication with an exterior of the liquid cartridge; a sensor configured to output a signal relative to a position of an object other than the liquid disposed in the liquid flow path; a storage configured to store data therein; a plurality of terminals, wherein the plurality of terminals comprises: a sensor terminal connected to the sensor, a power terminal connected to at least one of the sensor and the storage, and configured to receive power from an exterior of the cartridge; and a data terminal connected to the storage, wherein a distance between at least a first portion of the power terminal and at least a portion of the data terminal is greater than a distance between at least a second portion of the power terminal and at least a portion of the sensor terminal, wherein the sensor is disposed outside the liquid flow path.
