A technique for electrically interconnecting a disk drive suspension assembly
and
a micro-actuator mounting a transducer-carrying slider. A first set of termination
pads is provided on a generally planar surface of the micro-actuator, adjacent
a front edge portion of the micro-actuator. A set of leads is provided on the suspension
assembly so as to extend generally orthogonally to the first set of termination
pads and in adjacent relationship therewith. Electrical connections are provided
between the first set of termination pads and the suspension assembly leads. A
second set of termination pads can be provided on the micro-actuator planar surface
adjacent to a front edge portion of the slider and a third set of termination pads
can be provided on the slider front edge portion. The second and third sets of
termination pads are then electrically connected.
