ABSTRACT:
A disk drive head-gimbal assembly (200) is disclosed, which includes what may be characterized as a flexure (215) with an integrated trailing edge limiter. The head-gimbal assembly (200) includes a deflectable flexure tongue (228) and a bond pad platform (230) that is spaced from this flexure tongue (228). At least one bridge (234) extends between and structurally interconnects the flexure tongue (228) and bond pad platform (230). A slider assembly (136), including a slider positioner (156) and a slider (140), is mounted on the flexure tongue (228). The bond pad platform (230) is used to establish an electrical connection with the slider (140).
