Abstract
The invention relates to a magnetic disk drive having a head stack assembly including a rotary actuator body having a flex circuit mounting site for mounting a main actuator flex circuit and an arm extending therefrom which supports a head gimbal assembly (HGA). The invention provides for molding the conductors into the arm and the actuator body so that the conductors are strategically exposed along the flex circuit mounting side of the actuator body and along an end of the arm body which mates with the HGA.
