ABSTRACT:
A planar head-suspension assembly for an information storage system is provided. The assembly comprises a planar head being of the type having an air bearing surface and a back side opposite the air bearing surface. The head has a read and/or write transducer formed therein and electrical leads terminating on the back side at termination pads. The assembly also includes a multilayered suspension having an etched conductive lead structure formed in a conductive patterned layer and having one or more openings passing through the suspension. Portions of the conductive lead structure project into the openings, and the back side of the head is placed to the suspension such that the termination pads are properly aligned with the openings. Last, a solder region is formed within each of the openings making electrical contact between the conductive lead structure and the termination pads.
