Patent ID: 8593765

Claim:
A head gimbal assembly which comprises: a gimbal having a stage; a head-slider which is fixed to said stage; a piezoelectric element which comprises, an upper surface, a first side surface, a second side surface which is a surface opposite said first side surface, a lower surface, a first electrode which is formed on at least said upper surface and said first side surface, a second electrode which is formed on at least said second side surface and said lower surface, and a gap between said first and second electrodes on said lower surface, said piezoelectric element moving said stage by extension or contraction thereof according to a voltage applied to said first and second electrodes; a transmission wiring part which has a connection pad for said piezoelectric element; a cross-connector for physically and electrically cross-connecting said first electrode and said connection pad; and an adhesive fixing part which is formed from an insulating adhesive and adhesively fixes said lower surface of said piezoelectric element to said transmission wiring part, between an end of said second electrode at said gap and said cross-connector.
