ABSTRACT:
A system and method for connecting flexible circuitry in a disk drive system such as that used in computer systems. The system and method allow a large number of traces to be connected in a small area by forming male and female connector portions at an end of a mating pair of traces. the male and female portions are formed using conventional flexible circuit fabrication techniques, making possible very accurate control of very small built-in type connectors. The connection can be uncoupled and re-coupled, and added security of attachment can be achieved through the use of ultra-sonic bonding and use of a mechanical clamp.
