Patent ID: 6851177

Claim:
A manufacturing method of a head assembly, comprising the steps of: fixing a first lead conductor member onto a suspension, and attaching a second lead conductor member to at least one actuator arm, wherein said at least one actuator arm comprises a pair of actuator arms coupled with each other; after performing said fixing and attaching step, fixing said suspension with the fixed first lead conductor onto said at least one actuator arm with the attached lead conductor; electrically connecting said first lead conductor member fixed on said suspension with said second lead conductor member attached on said at least one actuator arm; thereafter, fixing a head slider provided with at least one head element onto said suspension; electrically connecting said at least one head element with said first lead conductor member; and bending said head arm assembly so that said pair of actuator arms are faced with each other, said bending step being executed after said electrically connecting step of said at least one head element with said first lead conductor member.
