ABSTRACT:
A flexure for mounting a head in a hard disc drive. The gimbal of the flexure includes a load point tab which retains the full thickness of the original flexure material for most of its area and further includes a thinned area local to and surrounding a desired location for a load point button. The thinned area is formed out-of-plane from the remainder of the flexure by approximately one-half the material thickness. The size of the thinned area is selected to be such that the thinned area is substantially non-compliant under intended load forces.
