Electrical connection structure, electrical connection method, electrical connection member, and image forming apparatus

摘要

An electrical connection structure includes a holder that holds an electric terminal provided with an electrical contact portion having elasticity and held such that the electrical contact portion is elastically deformable; a guiding member fitted to the holder and capable of guiding the holder in first and second directions, which are substantially orthogonal to each other, to move the electrical contact portion to a predetermined contact position on a conductive member, the first direction being a direction in which the electrical contact portion is elastically deformed by being pressed against the conductive member; and a restraining member that comes into contact with the holder that has been guided by the guiding member to move the electrical contact portion to the contact position, the restraining member restraining the holder from being moved in a direction opposite to the first direction by an elastic reaction force applied to the holder.
