ABSTRACT:
A magnetic head suspension, includes a load beam and a gimbal that supports an air bearing slider, and which provides an electrical connection thereto. The gimbal includes a cantilevered tongue and resiliently deformable tangs that extend laterally from the tongue, within a clearance delineated in part by the tongue. When the tangs are in an unbiased state, they project below the geometric plane of the tongue for contacting the slider and for establishing electrical contact therewith. The tangs can deflect independently during bonding to the slider for maintaining independent spring force against the slider. In one embodiment, the electrical conductive path is connected to ground potential for discharging static electricity generated between the slider and a rotating magnetic disk.
