Abstract
A system and method are disclosed for improving the electrical connection of a hard drive relay flexible circuit assembly to a head-gimbal assembly (HGA) flexure cable. In one embodiment, a flexible circuit assembly is attached to a hard drive coil carriage via a U-shaped connector and is electrically coupled to the HGA flexure cable by a bonding agent, such as an Anisotropic Conductive Film (ACF).
