ABSTRACT:
A flexible circuit includes a dielectric liquid crystal polymer. The liquid crystal polymer supports electrically conductive elements. The liquid crystal provides improved properties to the flexible polymer. A suspension assembly can be formed with a transducer head supported on an adjustable arm, where the flexible circuit provides electrical connection to the transducer.
