A holding member for holding is provided.
According to this configuration, since the holding member maintains the locked state of the rotating cover, the FPC or FFC connected to the connector is shaken or pulled. Even if an external force is applied to displace the locked state, the rotating cover does not rotate to enter the unlocked state. For this reason, in order to provide a locking mechanism capable of strong engagement with the connector, the connector is enlarged, or after the connector and FPC or FFC are connected, the housing and the rotating cover are bonded with an adhesive or tape. The reliability as a connector can be improved without doing.

Here, in the disk device according to the invention, the spacer may be a resin molded product, and the holding member may protrude integrally with the spacer toward the connector side.
