ABSTRACT:
A method of installing a printed circuit cable on an actuator arm in a disc drive system is described wherein the flat printed circuit cable is bonded onto a flat bracket to form a PCC assembly. Thereafter, the assembly is shaped to form a shaped PCC assembly which will hold the PCC firmly to the arm, the PCC bracket being shaped into three sections bent substantially into a "U" shape, so that the cable is held firmly against the side of the arm, by one arm of the "U", while the base of the "U" attaches the cable to the arm, and the opposite side arm of the "U" extends the cable out towards its attachment point. The first arm of the "U" also includes an anti-rotation tab which fits into a slot on the actuator arm.
