Abstract
A base plate for magnetic disk drives is provided that includes a hooked protrusion integrated therein between adjacent spindle motor coils. The cross-over wires that span between adjacent coils are secured by the hooked protrusions, thereby optimizing coil height and reducing manufacturing steps. The hook-like protrusions of one embodiment of the present invention are preferably stamped into the base plate.
