ABSTRACT:
A slider suspension system for use in a magnetic recording disk file comprised of a laminated suspension positioned between an actuator arm and a read/write slider. The laminated suspension is comprised of a conductor layer, a dielectric layer and a support layer. The conductor layer is comprised of a high strength conductive copper alloy selected from the group consisting of Cu--Ni--Si--Mg alloy, Be--Cu--Ni alloy, and Cu--Ti alloy, wherein the conductive layer has a thickness less than or equal to eighteen microns. The dielectric layer is comprised of an electrically insulating material such as a polyimide. The support layer is comprised of a rigid material such as stainless steel.
