Abstract
A cold trap assembly having Peltier Junction assembly is provided to reduce the head stiction between a disc drive head and a disc. The Peltier Junction assembly includes a cold region which has a temperature lower than the ambient temperature of the disc drive. Vapors from outgassing components in the disc drive condense on the cold region, thereby reducing the amount of vapors which may condense on the disc surface.
