HEAD SUSPENSION ASSEMBLY HAVING HEAD IC CHIP, MAGNETIC DISK DRIVE HAVING HEAD SUSPENSION ASSEMBLY, AND HEAD IC CHIP

摘要

A head suspension assembly of a magnetic diskdrive has a suspension supporting a magnetic head atthe top, and a head IC chip is mounted on thesuspension. The head IC chip has a plurality of bumpsserving as input and output electrodes for electricalcontact. The head IC chip itself and its bumps arearranged symmetrically with respect to the longitudinalcenter axis of the suspension.
