ABSTRACT:
An improved flexure for supporting a magnetic head carrying slider is disclosed. The flexure includes a load beam and a flexible circuit. The flexible circuit includes a carrier material, a plurality of electrical traces supported by the carrier material for electrically coupling to the magnetic head carried by the slider, and a gimbal insert member supported by the carrier material in a position substantially coplanar with the plurality of electrical traces. The gimbal insert member is mechanically coupled to the load beam and to the slider such that the gimbal insert member supports the slider for gimbaled motion relative to the load beam.
