ABSTRACT:
A head suspension for attachment to an actuator arm and for supporting a head slider within a rigid disk drive includes a load beam having a gimbal region provided adjacent a distal end of the load beam with a slider receiving aperture. A slider bond pad separately provided from the load beam is supported within the aperture by at least one conductive trace that also connects the slider bond pad to the load beam. An end portion of the conductive trace defines a gimbal axis about which the slider bond pad can rotate, and the slider bond pad is connected to the end portion of the conductive trace so that the majority of the slider bond pad is located to one side of the gimbal axis.
