Abstract
A hard disk drive frame which has a plurality of spring shaped contacts that electrically couple a printed circuit board to the flexible circuit board of an actuator arm assembly. The spring shaped contacts are mounted to the frame and extend from the frame in opposite directions into the printed circuit board area and held-disk assembly area. The spring shaped contacts are biased to engage and remain in contact with conductive pads formed on the flexible circuit board and printed circuit board when each are assembled within the hard disk drive.
