ABSTRACT:
In a disk drive, an interconnect adapter for coupling a head of a suspension assembly to front-end read/write circuitry includes a pad set with a plurality of specially designed pads. The pads are formed with an integrated frame and multiple tabs. The tabs enable removal and replacement of the pad set from the suspension assembly to enable suspension assembly rework. The interconnect adapter is designed to adapt to polarity specifications of various head and read/write circuitry designs. The pad set design is configured for connection with a variety of traces, with a piezoelectric microactuator, pre-amplification circuitry, and any of a variety of heads.
