ABSTRACT:
A disc drive has a head disc assembly and a printed circuit board. The head disc assembly has a first connector block with a plurality of first conductors, transmitting signals to and from the head disc assembly. The printed circuit board has a plurality of first electrical pads and a first cutout, the printed circuit board connected to the head disc assembly. A first flexible connection means electrically connects the first conductors of the first connector block of the head disc assembly to the first electrical pads of the printed circuit board, with the first cutout providing wiggle space and permitting accessing, positioning and mating of the first flexible connection means with the first connector block. In a specific embodiment, the first flexible connection means includes a third connector block and a first alignment means. The preferred embodiment of the first alignment means includes a pair of eyelets on the third connector block, a pair of first connector threaded holes on the first connector block and a pair of fasteners to align and fasten the third connector block and the first connector block. An alternate embodiment of first alignment means includes a first positioning pin attached to the third connector block, a first connector hole in the first connector block corresponding to the first positioning pin to receive the first positioning pin and align the third connector block with the first connector block.
