Abstract:
Disk drive with spindle motor and electrical connection arrangement, comprising a baseplate (5), a shaft (1), an armature (4) which is mounted rotatably with respect to the baseplate (5) by at least one bearing (2) and on which at least one storage disk is arranged, and a stator-side winding stack (8) provided with coils (9) and attached to the baseplate (5) by means of a winding support (11), characterized in that at least one terminal tag (13) arranged in or on the winding support (11), the terminal tag extending between two oppositely disposed freely extending ends, and wherein the terminal tag is formed at one free end in the region of the coils (9) as a soldering terminal (13a) for making a permanent electrical connection between the wires (14) of the coils and the tag (13), and is formed at its other free end as a contact spring (13b), the contact spring portion of the terminal tag being elastically deflectable and deflection of the contact spring portion of the terminal tag exerting the necessary contact force for effective electrical connection to corresponding contact lands on a printed circuit board.
