ABSTRACT:
In a hard disk drive, power and signals are transferred through a flexible cable 42 between a carriage having a magnetic head reading magnetic information while the positioning of the magnetic head is controlled on a magnetic disk and a card provided on the lower surface of a base. The movable section 44 of the flexible cable 42 is supported by the carriage to follow the carriage. A nonmovable section 46 is bent so as to enclose a reinforcement plate 50 and installed on the base through the reinforcement plate 50. The reinforcement plate 50 is used as a reinforcement for installing an AE module 54 on the upper surface 52 thereof. The reinforcement plate is also used as a reinforcement for connecting a carriage connector 84 to the card 40 through the lower surface 60 thereof. The reinforcement plate is used for maintaining an attitude to maintain the attitude of the movable section 44 in the lateral direction on a surface 64 of thickness of the plate. One reinforcement plate is needed for performing these operations.
