Abstract
An actuator for moving heads in a disk unit having heads for reading or writing data from or on recording surfaces of disks driven to rotate, an actuator having arms for supporting the heads, a main FPC board having one end thereof supported by the actuator and the other end thereof supported by a body of the disk unit, and relay FPC boards placed along the arms of the actuator, which can realize a compact and thin size, resistive to noise, and permitting a reduction in manufacturing cost. A printed-circuit board is supported by an actuator, is electrically connected to a circuit unit in a body of a disk unit via a main FPC board, and is electrically connected to heads via relay FPC boards. Integrated circuits are mounted on the printed-circuit board.
