Abstract
A head stack assembly (HSA) that may eliminate the need for a plurality of separate components by molding all of the HSA parts together into a single connector is disclosed. Such an HSA may include a single connector having a mating interface and a fastener extending from a surface of the connector, a flex circuit attached to the connector, and a gasket seal placed on the upper surface of the connector. The fasteners may be compliant pegs that are pressed into a disc housing, thereby holding the gasket and connector in place. When the HSA is correctly oriented, the mating interface of the connector may mate with a printed circuit board (PCB) mount connector. Because a number of HSA components are molded into a single-piece connector, metal screws may not be required, thereby reducing the loading forces and warp on the PCB.
