Abstract:
The invention relates to a printed board which comprises an inlay and on whose one face electrical components are provided and on whose other face at least one single cooling element for cooling the components is mounted. A component to be cooled, the inlay and the cooling element are aligned with each other. The components are SMD components of, e.g., a high-power output stage circuit with heat emissions of up to 10 to 15 watt. In order to cool the structure, the heat produced in a heating zone between the pins of a component to be cooled is guided to the inlay which is dimensioned in such a manner that it extends farther than below the pins of the component to be cooled. In order to prevent short-circuits and allow power connections, an additional layer is arranged on the printed board above the inlay and simultaneously below the component to be cooled and comprises thermic provisions between a component to be cooled and the inlay for ensuring a good to excellent heat conduction from the heating zone of a component to be cooled to the inlay.

Abstract:
A fixing member is spaced from a head actuator by a predetermined distance. A flexible printed circuit board extends at least from the head actuator to the fixing member. The flexible printed circuit board is superposed on the surface of the fixing member. A viscoelastic layer and a protecting layer are overlaid on the surface of the flexible printed circuit board. A clip clips all the fixing member, the flexible printed circuit board, the viscoelastic layer and the protecting layer together. When a head slider is positioned, the head actuator changes its attitude relative to a recording disk. The inertial force based on the rotation causes the first flexible printed circuit board to vibrate when the actuator block stops rotating. The viscoelastic layer serves to absorb this residual vibration of the first flexible printed circuit board. Vibration of the flexible printed circuit board can be suppressed.
