Original Abstract Submitted

An ink-jet head includes a flow passage member formed with: a first common flow passage; a first ink supply port; first individual flow passages; a second common flow passage; a second ink supply port; and second individual flow passages, first pressure generators, second pressure generators, a first conductive part, and a second conductive part. The first ink supply port is positioned on one side in the first direction, the second ink supply port is positioned on the other side in the first direction, an end portion of the first conductive part positioned nearer to a control circuit is positioned on the other side in the first direction, and an end portion of the second conductive part positioned nearer to the control circuit is positioned on the one side in the first direction.
