Abstract:
1. A disk drive suspension comprising: a load beam; a flexure comprising a stationary part secured to the load beam and a gimbal portion on which a slider is disposed; and a microactuator element mounted on the gimbal portion, wherein the microactuator element comprises an element body, which comprises first and second end surfaces, and an electrode covering at least one of the end surfaces of the element body, and wherein the gimbal portion comprises a metal base, an electrically insulating resin layer provided on the metal base, a conductor disposed overlapping the resin layer in a thickness direction thereof, an electrically insulating adhesive block which secures an end portion of the microactuator element to the metal base, an electrically conductive paste provided between the conductor and the electrode of the microactuator element, a first adhesive interface at which the resin layer and the electrically insulating adhesive block adhere to each other in the thickness direction of the resin layer, between the metal base and the electrically conductive paste, a second adhesive interface at which the resin layer and the electrically insulating adhesive block adhere to each other along a surface of the resin layer, between the metal base and the electrically conductive paste, and a corner portion formed at a part where the first adhesive interface and the second adhesive interface intersect each other.
