This new application employs flexible circuit technology to replace the traditional wires used in the disc drive recording head. For example, 3M circuits are among those currently used in Seagate Technology Inc.'s Cheetah 9LP low profile and Cheetah 18 half-height disc drives. While the application is new, 3M Microflex technology is not. 3M continues strategic partnerships with industry leaders to develop high-performance interconnect solutions.
Availability is immediate and pricing depends upon configuration.
