Waste liquid container, attachment, waste liquid collection unit, and liquid ejecting apparatus
A waste liquid container is detachably mounted on a mounting unit which includes a discharge portion discharging a waste liquid and a projection to which a substrate connection portion is joined. The waste liquid container includes: a containing portion that is able to contain the waste liquid; a connection concave portion that is opened in a mounting direction; a circuit substrate that includes connection terminals electrically connected to the substrate connection portion and is joined to the connection concave portion; and a waste liquid introduction portion that is connected to the discharge portion. In the connection concave portion, one pair of guide portions guiding the projection is formed so that the connection terminals are interposed therebetween in a width direction intersecting the mounting direction. Of the pair of guide portions, one guide portion is disposed between the connection terminals and the waste liquid introduction portion in the width direction.

a containing portion which is able to contain the waste liquid;
a waste liquid introduction portion which is connected to the discharge portion;
a circuit substrate which includes connection terminals electrically connected to the substrate connection portion; and
a contact portion which is in contact with the waste liquid container accommodation device by a force which the circuit substrate receives.
2. The waste liquid container according to claim 1 , wherein the contact portion is oriented in an opposite direction to the connection terminals.
3. The waste liquid container according to claim 1 , wherein the contact portion which is provided at a circuit substrate side from the waste liquid introduction portion.
4. The waste liquid container according to claim 1 , wherein the connection terminals are arranged between the waste liquid introduction portion and the contact portion.
5. The waste liquid container according to claim 1 , wherein the connection terminals face upward in a state where the waste liquid container is mounted to the waste liquid container accommodation portion.
6. The waste liquid container according to claim 5 , wherein the circuit substrate and the waste liquid introduction portion are located so as to be aligned in a width direction intersecting a direction in which the connection terminals face.
7. The waste liquid container according to claim 1 , wherein the waste introduction portion opens to a connecting direction in which the waste liquid container is connected to the discharge portion.
8. A liquid ejecting apparatus comprising:
a liquid ejecting unit that is able to eject a liquid; and
a waste liquid container accommodation device on which the waste liquid container according to claim 1 is detachably mounted,
wherein the waste liquid container accommodation device includes a discharge portion discharging a waste liquid and a substrate connection portion.
