ABSTRACT:
A reduced height disk drive includes a suspension-actuator assembly in which a head suspension (10) is attached to an actuator (9) on the same side of the head suspension as a transducer head (8) is attached to the head suspension for writing and reading information on and from a disk (7). A spin motor cable (17) is located on the outside of a housing (2) and connected to pins (14) extending from the housing through pins (18) extending from the housing and lines (16) contained in the housing. A printed circuit board (3) having a through hole (3e) in which a connector (13) is provided connects to pins (14) extending from the housing. A flexible printed circuit inside the housing has a connector (11k) for connecting to the pins (14) and (18) at one end and a fixing member for mechanically attaching to the pins at the other end. The flexible printed circuit is attached to the pins in a folded condition.
