ABSTRACT:
A conductor assembly for carrying electrical signals is provided for a disk drive having an actuator arm. The actuator arm includes a first surface lying in a first plane, a second surface lying in a second plane and an outer edge. The conductor assembly includes a first trace segment, a second trace segment and one or more segment guides for urging the trace segments together between the first and second planes. Alternatively, the conductor assembly includes a first conductor platform that supports at least the first trace segment between the first and second planes. The conductor assembly can include a first platform step so that the first conductor platform is positioned parallel to the first and second planes. In an alternate embodiment, the first trace segment that has been reshaped to be positioned between the first and second planes.
