ABSTRACT:
An integrated suspension system for supporting a magnetic read/write slider comprising a load beam for supporting a slider, a flexure for connecting the load beam to a slider, the flexure including a bonding area upon which the slider is attached, a tip platform supporting the slider read/write element terminations, and a hinge-like compliance member for flexibly connecting the tip platform and the bonding area. The flexure further includes a pair of flexure legs which substantially enclose the slider bonding area, and a pair of tabs extend perpendicular from the flexure legs to support conductive elements electrically connecting the magnetic read/write slider to the disk drive controlling electronics.
