ABSTRACT:
A load beam for a data storage device having a first end operatively configured for connecting to a head actuator arm and a second end operatively configured for supporting a signal transducer head is provided. The load beam has a flange with a bent portion. The bent portion is arranged by bending the standing portion of the flange in the middle thereof outwardly from the load beam. The bent portion is arranged so that it progressively becomes wider as it runs toward the end of the load beam. The flange is adapted to be nearly flush with a flat base surface at the end of the load beam so as not to have a standing portion and such that signal wires may be connected to a signal transducer head without being unduly bent.
