Developing device, memory unit thereof, and image forming apparatus

摘要

A developing device (100) to prevent damage of a memory unit (180) and poor connection between terminals (181) of the memory unit (180) and a main body (10) of an image forming apparatus, by improving a mounting position of the memory unit (180). The developing device (100) is removably mounted to a main body (10) of the image forming apparatus. The memory unit (180) includes terminals (181) exposed through a rear side of the developing device (100). The memory unit (180) is disposed closer to a power reception unit formed at one side of the developing device (100) than to a driving force reception unit (160) formed at an other side of the developing device (100).
