a liquid interface having a seal to fluidically connect to a liquid needle of the receiving station;
a liquid channel to fluidically connect the reservoir and the liquid interface; and
an external lateral side defining a clearance, a protrusion at least partially in the clearance, the protrusion to engage a stop surface at an edge of the clearance to retain the apparatus in the receiving station; and
an integrated circuit contact pad array next to the liquid interface, the contact pad array including a plurality of contact surfaces facing the container to allow a data connector to pass between the contact surfaces and the container.
