  • Flex cable assembly for robust right angle interconnect
    Patent number: 8213124
    Abstract: A hard disk drive flex cable assembly, for conveying data between a connector to a host system and a head stack assembly, comprises a flex cable, which in part has a first end for coupling to the connector, and a second end for coupling to the head stack assembly; and a stiffener coupled to the second end, wherein the stiffener supports at least one termination pad of the second end on three sides of the termination pad.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 4, 2007
    Date of Patent: July 3, 2012
    Assignee: Hitachi Global Storage Technologies, Netherlands B.V.
    Inventors: Jen-Yuan Chang, Robert C. Reinhart, Edgar D. Rothenberg, See C. Young
  • Flex cable assembly for vibration reduction in HDD applications
    Patent number: 8144431
    Abstract: A hard disk drive flex cable assembly conveys data between a connector to a host system and a head stack assembly. It comprises a flex cable which in part has a first end for coupling to the connector, and a second end for coupling to the head stack assembly; and a stiffener coupled to the second end. The stiffener comprises an end formed to approximate a J-shape. A filling material is applied to the concave surface of the J-shape, whereby a dynamic response frequency of the flex cable assembly is moved away from a dynamic response frequency of the head stack assembly upon which the flex cable assembly is coupled.
