A cartridge is provided for use with an associated printing apparatus. The cartridge includes a housing, a semiconductor storage device for storing data, a plurality of contacts for connecting the semiconductor storage device with an associated printing apparatus, and a printed circuit board held in a fixed relationship relative to the cartridge housing. The printed circuit board is rigid or otherwise relatively inflexible and defines a pair of opposite sides. The semiconductor storage device and the plurality of contacts are disposed exclusively on one of the pair of opposite sides of the printed circuit board.
