ABSTRACT:
A disk drive suspension and method has a limiter structure that limits movement of the tongue relative to a surrounding frame by extending the plastic film layer and optionally the metal layer components of a flexure-defining flexible circuit laminate beyond the flexure tongue distal end and attaching the terminal regions of the extended components to the surrounding frame laterally of the tongue. The flexure-defining laminate is attached to the suspension rigid portion proximally and optionally distally as well as laterally with the limiter structure. A lift tip can be used to enable lifting of the suspension and to stiffen the suspension in lieu of the distal attachment of the flexible circuit.
