ABSTRACT:
A gimbal suspension flexure is disclosed for supporting a slider for a disk drive. The flexure comprises a generally planar laminated flexure section having a dielectric layer and electrical leads disposed on a surface of the flexure section flexural steel layer, and a tongue extending from the flexure section at one end thereof, attached by three extension members, each extension member connecting a separate side of the tongue to the flexure section. The tongue is formed at the three extension members to be positioned in a second displaced from the plane of the flexure section. The tongue is formed so that the second plane is displaced a distance at least equal to the thickness of the dielectrical layer and the conductive layer, whereby the slider may be attached to the tongue displaced from the generally planar flexure section and positioned for electrical connection to the electrical leads, while maintaining the correct attitude for operation with the disk drive.
