ABSTRACT:
A slider-suspension assembly for a magnetic disc drive is provided. The slider-suspension assembly includes a slider and a gimbal that is electrically coupled to electrical ground and bonded to the slider. The gimbal includes a pair of struts and a cross-member. The struts and cross-member define an open portion of the gimbal. A support extends from the cross-member and protrudes into the open portion. The gimbal is bonded to the slider at the support. The gimbal also includes a shear tab which includes a fountain. A conductive adhesive is deposited on the shear tab and within the fountain for electrically coupling the gimbal to the slider.
