Abstract
An ESD protection device for a disk drive comprises a guide at two inner sides of the disk drive. A conductive sponge, one end contacting the case and the other protruding end contacting one of two conductive rails, is disposed in one guide. A hook is formed at one end, jutting out of the disk drive, of the rail. The rails support two sides of the tray, having electric elements disposed thereon and its bottom being covered by a conductive traverse cover, sliding. A conductive elastic stopper disposed at the bottom tray has an indentation formed at the front end to position the hook on the indentation's moving path, a contact part bent to electronically connect to the cover next to the indentation, and a sliding part formed at the rear end by protruding upwards to electronically connected to the rail, to electronically connect to the cover and the rail.
