摘要:
A base plate and load beam for an HG assembly are formed in series, stacked, and transferred by a transfer system in the form of the stacked-layer series to undergo the necessary assembly processes such as layer joining, slider attachment, and electrical connections between the terminals thereon. When uncompleted HG assemblies are transferred for each of the manufacturing processes, the uncompleted HG assembly is mounted on the assembly jig such as a tray or a block for transference. For this reason, assembling jigs, the number of which is at least equal to the number of the uncompleted HG assemblies remaining at the respective assembly processes would be needed. Accordingly, the efficiency of work space is reduced, and a rise in manufacturing cost is brought about by the need for the assembling jigs.

摘要:
A method of making a solder connection between a slider pad and a suspension pad is provided by forming a solder bump on the solder pad at the slider level, affixing the slider to the suspension so that solder can be reflowed between the slider pad and the suspension pad and then employing a laser beam to reflow at least the solder bump to form a solder connection between the slider pad and the suspension pad. Various embodiments of the method are employed for forming the solder connection. Geometric features are also optionally incorporated in the suspension pad region of the integrated suspension that can be employed to bias the suspension pads against the solder bumps in the pre-reflow state.
