ABSTRACT:
A glide sensor suspension assembly for supporting a glide sensor having a slider and a sensor element. The suspension assembly comprises a load beam support member having a load dome projection at one end thereof, and a flexure member having first and second sections, the first section fixedly attached to the load beam support member, and the second section comprising a gimbal flexure section having the slider affixed thereon supported by the load dome projection of the load beam support member. Integrated electrical leads are formed on the flexure member, the electrical leads having output connections at the first section and are connected at the second section to the sensor element, so that the sensor element is electrically connected to the output connections.
