Abstract
End faces of the opposite ends of an FPC for connecting a movable magnetic head and a stationary electric circuit to each other are supported parallel to the plane of a recording medium and in the substantially same plane. The height of the FPC when it is flexed and twisted can be further reduced by forming a slot or slots longitudinally in the FPC and/or by forming a repeat or repeats of an S shape on the FPC. The height of the FPC upon flexing and twisting can be further reduced by bending the opposite side portions of an intermediate portion of the FPC between the end faces longitudinally. If the vertical spacing of the FPC which is flexed by movement of the magnetic head is reduced in this manner, a device of miniaturized thickness and volume can be constructed.
