Abstract
A chip module for a toner cartridge includes a substrate having a top surface, a memory disposed on the substrate, transmission terminals electrically connected with the memory, and a ground terminal. Each transmission terminal has two legs disposed on the substrate, and a bridge connected between the two legs and located at a distance above the top surface of the substrate. The ground terminal is disposed on the substrate and located between the transmission terminals. The ground terminal is a lamellar-shaped piece and nonparallel to the top surface of the substrate. The chip module is firmly mounted to the toner cartridge and positively aligned and contacted with a reading head of an electronic image-forming apparatus.
