ABSTRACT:
A pair of brackets which can create a pair of loops in a flexible circuit board. The bracket includes a base portion and a wall which has a radius of curvature. At the intersection of the wall and base is a first slot. Opposite from the first slot is a second slot that is defined by a hook which extends from the top of the wall. The flexible circuit has a first edge which is initially inserted into the first slot and a second edge which is subsequently pushed past the hook into the second slot. The slots capture the flexible circuit board which extends along the radially shaped wall. The radial shaped wall bends the flexible circuit board so that the board has a first loop. The bracket is used to couple a first end of the flexible circuit board to the actuator arm of a hard disk drive. A second opposite end of the flexible circuit board is attached to a board bracket in such a manner to create a second loop in the flexible circuit board.
