ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is an integrated lead suspension flexure attachment structure for a micro-actuator with a slider/transducer assembly attached thereto, having a plurality of electrical terminals for both the micro-actuator and the transducer. The suspension provides low gimbal stiffness and allows the slider to have correct pitch and roll static attitudes. An attachment platform is provided for mechanically attaching the micro-actuator. Two elongate cantilever compliance members extend from the transducer edge and the opposite edge of the attachment platform. Two lead termination platforms are provided, each at the distal end of one of the compliance members. The lead termination platforms extend laterally to either side of the compliance members. Electrical leads are positioned laterally of each of the lead termination platforms on either side, and loop towards the compliance member to the lead termination platform to reduce stiffness of the leads. The two lead termination platforms each supports the electrical leads at either side of the compliance member and the compliance members allow flex between the attachment platform and the lead terminations for connecting the leads to the micro-actuator.
