Developing cartridges for use in image forming apparatuses having an image carrier, include: (a) a case; (b) a developer carrier supported by the case (for holding developer thereon); and (c) a conductive member engaged with or provided on the case and being electrically connected to the developer carrier. The case may be configured to allow the developer carrier to be pressed against the image carrier at a designated pressing position in a pressing direction, and the conductive member may be configured to be supplied with electrical potential while being pressed by an electrical connection member in a direction parallel to the pressing direction. Alternatively, in some structures, the conductive member may be configured to be supplied with electrical potential while being pressed by an electrical connection member in a direction parallel to a line extending from the designated pressing position to a developer carrier and image carrier contacting position.
