Disclosed is an inexpensive structure for mounting a flexible printed circuit board to a hard circuit board without using a connector. The terminal section of the flexible printed circuit board is mounted to a holding member, which is secured to the hard circuit board to electrically connect the wiring pattern of the terminal section to the electric circuit of the hard circuit board, whereby it is possible to mount the flexible printed circuit board to the hard circuit board without using an expensive connector, thereby achieving an improvement in terms of cost and operability.

Flexible printed circuit board mounting structure and

A magnetic disk driving device comprising a flexible disk-shaped magnetic recording medium; a first motor for rotating the magnetic recording medium; first and second head supporting members for supporting first and second magnetic heads, respectively, the first and second head supporting members being formed with recesses from which the first and second magnetic heads project toward the magnetic recording medium; a second motor for moving the magnetic heads; and first and second arms extending along opposite surfaces of the magnetic recording medium, the first and second arms having respective free ends where the first and second head supporting members are mounted and having respective base ends where a rotating shaft of the second motor is directly fixed; wherein the first and second arms are adapted to be rocked within a predetermined rocking angle defined in such a manner that when the first magnetic head supported by the first head supporting member is located in opposition to an outermost recording track of the magnetic recording medium, the second magnetic head supported by the second head supporting member comes to a position opposed to an innermost recording track of the magnetic recording medium.

Magnetic disk head positioning device

A method of producing a magnetic head with use of a mounting jig which comprises a head projection amount setting member having a flat portion adapted to contact an upper surface of a vacuum generating member formed with a vacuum generating recess and having a recessed portion recessed from the flat portion by a predetermined depth corresponding to a projection amount of a magnetic head to be projected from a substantially central through-hole of the vacuum generating member; a presser member mounted on a side of the flat portion of the head projection amount setting member and provided with presser pawls for holding the vacuum generating member and pressing the same against the flat portion of the head projection amount setting member; an inclination adjusting member for adjusting parallelism of the magnetic head; and a height adjusting member connected to the presser member and the head projection amount setting member for adjusting a vertical position of the head projection amount setting member with respect to the magnetic head.
