ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for attaching a printed circuit cable (PCC) to the actuator arm assembly of a disc drive including, an actuator arm having a pivot with a plurality of alignment pins and attachment means to mechanically, electrically and non-rotatably connect a PCC to an actuator arm pivot. The attachment means include passing the alignment pins through complementarily located alignment apertures in the PCC and soldering the pins to the adjacent pads located on the PCC. The attachment means further provide routing means for separating and directing the printed circuit trace wires to the motor coil extension pin interface and the read/write signal pad interface on the actuator arm assembly.
