摘要： A novel head stack assembly (HSA) is disclosed and claimed. The HSA includes an actuator including an actuator body and an actuator arm extending from the actuator body, and a flexible printed circuit (FPC) adjacent the actuator body. The FPC includes a slit therethrough. A head gimbal assembly (HGA) is attached to the actuator arm. The HGA includes a load beam, a laminated flexure attached to the load beam, and a head attached to the laminated flexure. The laminated flexure has a flexure tail that includes an intermediate region that is disposed adjacent the actuator arm, and a terminal region that is electrically connected to the FPC. The terminal region is substantially orthogonal to the intermediate region. The intermediate region of the flexure tail extends into the slit, interferes with the slit, and contacts and deforms the FPC adjacent the slit.

摘要： A novel head stack assembly (HSA) is disclosed and claimed. The HSA includes a flexible printed circuit (FPC) having a mouth with an upper mouth edge and a lower mouth edge. The FPC includes a first plurality of conductive terminals immediately adjacent the upper mouth edge and a second plurality of conductive terminals immediately adjacent the lower mouth edge. The mouth defines and is bisected by a mouth centerline disposed equidistant from the upper mouth edge and the lower mouth edge. The mouth centerline is substantially parallel to and substantially equidistant from first and second actuator arms of the HSA. A first plurality of conductive traces of a first head gimbal assembly (HGA) is electrically connected to the first plurality of conductive terminals, and a second plurality of conductive traces of a second HGA is electrically connected to the second plurality of conductive terminals.
