ABSTRACT:
A head stack assembly for a disk drive. The head stack assembly includes an actuator defining an axis of rotation. The actuator includes an actuator arm defining a longitudinal axis orthogonal to the axis of rotation. The actuator includes an actuator body formed of overmolded plastic. The actuator includes first and second locking pins extending from the actuator body orthogonal to the axis of rotation. The flex cable includes a first opening engaged with the first locking pin in a direction generally parallel to the longitudinal axis for retaining the flex cable. The flex cable includes a second opening engaged with the second locking pin in a direction generally parallel to the axis of rotation for retaining the flex cable.
