Abstract

A liquid cartridge is configured to be inserted into an attachment portion of a printing device in an insertion direction and attached thereto in an upright posture. The liquid cartridge includes: a housing having a contact; a circuit board; and a pivoting member. The circuit board is movable between a first position and a second position relative to the housing. The contact of the cartridge faces upward in the upright posture when the circuit board is in the first position. The contact of the cartridge slopes relative to the insertion direction in the upright posture and is electrically connectable to a contact of the device in an attached state of the liquid cartridge when the circuit board is in the second position. The pivoting member is pivotably supported by the housing about a pivot axis and moves the circuit board between the first position and the second position.
