Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes an image forming unit, a casing sheet metal, a circuit board, and a support sheet metal. The casing sheet metal includes a first surface having an opening and a second surface. The support sheet metal is housed in the casing sheet metal in an orientation in which a first edge of the support sheet metal faces the first surface of the casing sheet metal and a second edge of the support sheet metal faces the second surface of the casing sheet metal. The first edge includes an insertion portion configured to be inserted into the opening, and the second edge includes a pressing portion configured to press the second surface of the casing sheet metal in a state in which the insertion portion is inserted into the opening. Grounding of the circuit board is established via the support sheet metal and the casing sheet metal.
