The invention is related to a suspension for supporting a
data transducer in a disk drive. The materials used in a
laminated part of the suspension allow the particular designs
claimed in the application to be implemented. A load beam
applies a load to the slider and is connected to the slider
portion by a first flexure arm and a second flexure arm. A
cavity is positioned between the first flexure arm and the
second flexure arm. An electric cable extends along the load
beam and positioned for connection to the surface of the
slider. The electric cable is comprised of a first layer and
a second layer. The second layer is positioned over the first
layer and comprises at least a first elongated strip and a
second elongated strip, both comprised of a high strength
electrically conductive material selected from the group
consisting of Cu-Ni-Si-Mg alloy, Be-Cu-Ni alloy and Cu-Ti
alloy. The invention is further illustrated by the following
claim below.
