Abstract:
1. An actuator mounting section of a disk drive suspension, comprising: an actuator element comprising an electrode; an electrically conductive plate comprising an opening which accommodates the actuator element; an electrically insulating resin bonding material which secures the actuator element to the electrically conductive plate; and an electrically conductive paste applied to a bridge junction configured to electrically connect the electrically conductive plate and the electrode, the electrically conductive paste of the bridge junction comprising a first portion formed on the resin bonding material between the electrode and the electrically conductive plate and having a paste height above the resin bonding material smaller than either of those above the electrically conductive plate and the electrode, a second portion formed on the electrically conductive plate and having a paste width on the electrically conductive plate greater than that of the first portion, and a third portion formed on the electrode and having a paste width on the electrode greater than that of the first portion.
