Abstract
A relatively compact profile hard disc drive package is disclosed in which an clean room zone internal to the drive casing may be sealed despite the presence of a linking connector extending from the package. A cutout is provided in the casing and a connector body is fitted into the cutout so that the connector does not project beyond the surface of the casing. The connector has pins that are mated to a receptacle connector located within the casing and other pins that are mated to a receptacle connector on the exterior of the casing. The cutout is sealed by a sealant that is received between projections extending from the body of the connector.
