ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for securing a printed circuit cable to an actuator arm in a disc drive is provided. The actuator arm has a pivot adjacent the disc of the disc drive and includes a threaded mounting boss on the side of the actuator arm and adjacent thereto connecting pins for connecting the PCC cable electrically to the actuator arm. A single piece alignment bracket incorporating both forks and an anti-rotation tab which cooperate with a slotted actuator arm to prevent a bracket and the PCC that it holds from being moved out of alignment or from rotating the assembly is provided, bonded directly to the PCC and forming the PCC for attachment to the actuator arm. The bracket is bent to form a first, central and third bracket section. The first section contains the forks and anti-rotation tab which are bent away from the first section in opposite directions. The central section contains a hole for mounting to the actuator arm. The third section has an elongated end piece.
