A printed circuit board on which multiple component-dedicated alignment line indicators including parallel lines may be used to facilitate the evaluation and segregation process during the production of printed circuit board assemblies based on the alignment characteristics of mounted disk drive electrical components with respect to these parallel lines. Each electrical component defines a perimeter with edges defining a first and second lateral distances and corners defining a diagonal distance. The alignment line indicators include first and second inner line segments spaced apart a first inner spacing at least the first lateral distance and less than the diagonal distance. The alignment line indicators include third and fourth inner line segments spaced apart at least the second lateral distance and less than the diagonal distance. The alignment line indicators include first and second outer line segments spaced apart more than the first inner spacing and less than the diagonal distance.
A disk drive printed circuit board for use with a disk drive electrical component, the disk drive electrical component defining a rectangular perimeter, the perimeter including opposing first and second edges spaced apart a first lateral distance, the perimeter further including opposing third and fourth edges extending between the first and second edges and spaced apart a second lateral distance, the perimeter further including opposing corners spaced apart a diagonal distance, the printed circuit board comprising:
