Head Gimbal Assembly With Transducer Wires Attached At Two Points To Slider
Head Gimbal Assembly With Transducer Wires Attached At Two Points To Slider
US Patent:
5771138, Jun 23, 1998
Filed:
Jul 25, 1996
Appl. No.:
8/686273
Inventors:
Mourad D. Zarouri - San Diego CA
Navrit Singh - Santa Clara CA
Thomas J. Bower - San Luis Obispo CA
Navrit Singh - Santa Clara CA
Thomas J. Bower - San Luis Obispo CA
Assignee:
Read-Rite Corporation - Milpitas CA
International Classification:
G11B 548
US Classification:
360104
Abstract:
A head gimbal assembly for use in disk drive systems comprises a load beam, a flexure connected to the load beam, an air bearing slider connected to the flexure which includes a transducer and a plurality of bonding pads and a plurality of transducer wires, wherein each transducer wire is physically connected at a first point on the load beam and to a first location on said slider and to one of the bonding pads. The flexure, slider and first length of each transducer wire between the first location on the slider and the bonding pads form an integral unit which moves as a single unit during operation of a disk drive. The transducer wires have a second length between the first point on the load beam and the first location on the slider such that the stiffness of the second length does not restrict movement of the integral unit. The second length of the transducer wires and the integral unit coact to maintain freedom of movement and the flying characteristics of the slider and each transducer wire exerts negligible stress on the bond between the transducer wire and the bonding pad.

US Patent:
5859749, Jan 12, 1999
Filed:
Apr 14, 1997
Appl. No.:
8/840260
Inventors:
Mourad Zarouri - San Diego CA
Thomas J. Bower - San Luis Obispo CA
Thomas J. Bower - San Luis Obispo CA
Assignee:
Read-Rite Corporation - Milpitas CA
International Classification:
G11B 548
US Classification:
360104
Abstract:
A head gimbal assembly for use in disk drive systems comprising a load beam, a flexure physically connected to the load beam, a slider physically connected to the flexure for movement with the flexure. The slider includes a transducer and n bonding pads to which the transducer is electrically connected. A flex circuit is provided having n conductors connected to the n bonding pads for providing electrical connection to the transducer, a portion of the flex circuit being routed between the flexure and the slider such that the portion, flexure and slider moves as a single unit, and a reduced stiffness area to minimize the effects on roll and pitch characteristics of the slider due to said flex circuit being connected to said n bonding pads on said slider and being routed between the flexure and slider.
