ST1.3 Series Product Manual, Rev. C

• Use an elastic mounting material to protect drives so as to ensure that more shock can be absorbed.
• There are no guides along the side for mounting. Instead, refer to figure on areas (refer to Figure 10, high-

lighted in blue) where the mounting material can rest on.

• The drive can be operated in any orientation but horizontal or vertical orientation is preferred.
• Allow a minimum clearance of 0.030 inches (0.76 mm) around the entire perimeter of the drive for cooling, 

with the exception of the mounting edges for better airflow.

• Our recommendation is to make as few bends on the flex cable as possible, the ideal being a flat cable. This 

is to prevent risk of circuit traces on FPC breaking during integration. (See Figure 11)

• The FPC may be bent in order to improve suspension of the disk. In case the system design warrants bend-

ing, care should be taken to maximize the radius.

• Mounting materials are available from many third-party vendors.
• The ZIF connector on ST1.3 has a groove for FPC with tab (refer to Figure 12), for better retention.

 

Measurements made for horizontal retention force using FPC with tab versus FPC without tab is

 

17.44 N vs. 7.69 N.

• The ZIF connector has a specification of 5 insertion cycles.
