ABSTRACT:
An end-tab extends from a suspension for an actuator within a data storage device such as a HDD (hard disk drive). A suspension body supports a read/write head, and the end-tab extends from the suspension body. At least one dimension, such as the width and/or the height, of the end-tab increases from toward a front end of the end-tab to toward the suspension body. Thus, the weight of the end-tab is minimized, and yet the stiffness of the end-tab is enhanced.
