ABSTRACT:
A receiver assembly is provided for releasably mounting a head/arm assembly to a movable arm of a disc drive. The head/arm assembly has a rigid arm having at least two mutually exclusive predetermined defined edges and a flex arm mounted to the rigid arm supporting the transducing head in a predetermined relation to the predetermined edges of the rigid arm. The receiver assembly includes a base member having a surface receiving the rigid arm of the head/arm assembly. At least two positioning pins are mounted to the base member adjacent the receiving surface, and an actuator provides a predetermined bias against the rigid arm so that the defined edges of the rigid arm bear against the positioning pins. A clamp assembly is mounted to the base member to releasably clamp the rigid arm of the head/arm assembly to the receiving surface of the base. The base member is fixedly mountable to the movable arm of the disc drive to position the positioning pins in a predetermined relation to the arm. With the head/arm assembly positioned in the receiver assembly and the receiver assembly mounted to the movable arm, the head is in a predetermined position with respect to the movable arm.
