Appeal No. 1998-2562
Application No. 08/567,403
13. An improved HGA, head gimbal assembly, for
reading and writing information with respect to a
relatively moving disk in a disk drive having a
rotary actuator including an actuator arm and having
electronic componentry, the HGA comprising:
a baseplate for mounting the HGA to the actuator
arm;
a spring section fixed to the baseplate;
a cantilevered conductive load beam having a
distal end and a proximal end, the proximal end
being fixed to the spring section and the distal end
including a load button;
a generally planar nonconductive dielectric film
including a main body section, a distal end and a
proximal end, the main body section being attached
to the load beam, the distal end including a gimbal,
and the proximal end including an elongate connector
structure for interconnection with the electronic
componentry;
conductor structure embedded within the
dielectric film, the conductor structure extending
from the elongate connector structure through the
main body section and having a terminating end at
the gimbal;
a generally planar tongue defined within the
gimbal, the tongue being pivotably supported by the
gimbal, the tongue being formed from the
nonconductive dielectric film and the tongue having
a wire bonding pad at an end thereof for
electrically interconnecting to the terminating end
of the embedded conductor structure and the tongue
including a ground opening, and
