A method for connecting electrical parts The method includes retaining a piece of metal within a nozzle, supplying inert gas to the nozzle, and irradiating the retained piece of metal with a light source while the supplied inert gas flows from apertures in the nozzle. The metal is melted by the light source. The method also includes ejecting the melted metal from the nozzle by the supplied inert gas onto electrical parts.

A head-gimbal assembly (HGA) with a suspension-lead pad having a form that is configured to inhibit formation of an inter-pad solder bridge. The HGA includes a gimbal, a head-slider and a plurality of suspension-lead pads. The head-slider is coupled with the gimbal, and includes a plurality of head-slider pads. The plurality of suspension-lead pads is coupled with the plurality of head-slider pads by a plurality of solder bonds. A suspension-lead pad comprises a first lateral side, a second lateral side, a proximal side, disposed in proximity to a respective head-slider pad, and a distal side. A first width of the suspension-lead pad closer to the proximal side is substantially larger than a second width of the suspension-lead pad further from the proximal side than the first width. A disk drive including the HGA, and a head-slider with a head-slider pad having similar form to the suspension-lead pad are also provided.

摘要:
An apparatus for interconnecting two connection pads in a head-gimbal assembly. The apparatus includes a conveyer for conveying a metallic slug, and a nozzle for ejecting the metallic slug toward the two connection pads. The nozzle includes a receiving portion for receiving the metallic slug from the conveyer, and a straight guide disposed downstream of the receiving portion. The straight guide has a maximum inner diameter that is smaller than a minimum inner diameter of the receiving portion. The apparatus also includes a laser for applying a laser beam from an inlet side of the nozzle to the metallic slug as the metallic slug passes along a path that includes a first portion through said straight guide and a second portion between the straight guide and the two connection pads. The laser is configured to melt the metallic slug for attaching the metallic slug to the two connection pads.

Embodiments of the invention provide techniques to prevent, when a bonding pad and a lead wiring pad are to be connected using a solder ball, the solder ball from deviating from a centerline and a soldering problem from occurring. In one embodiment, a head suspension assembly includes a solder ball disposed between a lead wiring pad provided for a flexure and a bonding pad provided for a slider. The solder ball is then melted for making a soldered joint between the lead wiring pad and the bonding pad. A through slot is provided at a position near a centerline on a front surface of the lead wiring pad. The solder ball is dropped into the through slot by gravity from the front surface of the lead wiring pad. A contact area in contact with the solder ball is thereby secured on a side of the slider.

Embodiments of the invention provide a head gimbal assembly (HGA) capable of effecting solder ball connection with use of low energy. In one embodiment, the HGA includes a head/slider. In the head/slider, slider pads and lead wire pads are connected to each other by reflow of solder balls under the radiation of a laser beam. Lead layers are connected to a magnetic head and electrode studs are connected to the lead layers, respectively, and are also connected to the slider pads. The diameter R (m) of a solder ball and a sectional area S (m2) of an electrode stud are in a relation of R2≧4S.
摘要:
Approaches for helping to decrease the amount of inactive gas necessary for reflow to interconnect connection terminals of a head slider and a suspension. Inactive gas is blown from a nozzle of a reflow apparatus toward interconnection joints of a head slider and a suspension. The head slider is bonded onto a gimbal tongue. The nozzle comprises a duct through which the inactive gas passes and a porous member fitted in an ejection outlet of the tube. Placing the porous member close to the head slider achieves effective reduction of oxygen concentration around solder balls.
