ABSTRACT:
A sleeve capture apparatus is provided for use with a load beam. The load beam couples a gimbal to a support arm in a head-gimbal assembly and the sleeve capture apparatus supports a conductor sleeve running from the gimbal to the support arm along the load beam. A first capture member extends from an edge of the load beam and has a sleeve contact surface for contacting the conductor sleeve. A second capture member also extends from the edge of the load beam and has a sleeve contact surface for contacting the conductor sleeve. A third capture member extends from the edge of the load beam and has a sleeve contact surface for contacting the conductor sleeve. The second capture member has its sleeve contact surface displaced from a line defined generally by the sleeve contact surfaces of the first and third capture members. It is displaced by a distance less than the thickness of the conductor sleeve.
