THE DISK DRIVE INCLUDES A DISK DRIVE ENCLOSURE HAVING DIE-CAST GENERATED PREDETERMINED ZERO DRAFT GEOMETRIES FOR MOUNTING THE SPINDLE MOTOR SHAFT AND THE ACTUATOR BEARING SHAFT. THE ENCLOSURE INCLUDES A BASE CASTING AND A COVER CASTING, EACH INCLUDING STRUCTURE FOR LOCATING AND RETAINING ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS USED FOR CONNECTING TO A PLANAR ELECTRONICS CARD LOCATED OUTSIDE THE DRIVE ENCLOSURE. THE DISK DRIVE INCLUDES AN EFFECTIVE AND EASILY MANUFACTURABLE ELECTRICAL PATH FROM A FLEX CIRCUIT TO AN ACTUATOR COMB. THE DISK DRIVE INCLUDES A TUBULAR CHEMICAL BREATHER FILTER ARRANGED WITH INTEGRAL HOUSING AND DIFFUSION CHANNELS FORMED IN THE COVER CASTING. (FIG. 1) |
