Abstract
The present invention provides a stacked type actuator arm assembly equipped with a structure for easily fixing lead wires between a coil and a flexible cable. A stacked type actuator arm assembly that is used in a magnetic disk storage is equipped at the coil support portion of a coil support spacer with a small hole through which lead wires and are inserted. Since the spacer is stamped from a flat sheet, a structure for holding the lead wires cannot be freely formed as in a die casting method, but formation of the small hole according to the present invention is easy. During manufacturing, after the lead wires and have been inserted through the small hole, if they are processed in the following fabrication step, there is no possibility that force will be applied to the boundary portion between a coil and the lead wire extending from a wire of the coil which would peel a wire of the coil off. In addition, in the magnetic disk storage being operated, there is no possibility that the lead wires will move and then touch other components.
