Wireless suspension design to accommodate multiple drive designs

Abstract

A wireless suspension design is described that can be used in varying types of drive designs. In one embodiment, a flex circuit is provided with at least two indicia to indicate where the flex circuit is to be bent when attaching it to a head stack assembly.

1 - 10 . (Cancelled)  
   
   
       11 . A method of manufacturing a suspension assembly comprising: 
 forming a flex circuit including a substrate;    providing indicia on said substrate to indicate where the substrate is to be bent.    
   
   
       12 . The method of  claim 11  further comprising: 
 attaching said flex circuit to a suspension assembly and bending said flex circuit at said indicia.    
   
   
       13 . The method of  claim 12  wherein in said forming operation said flex circuit includes a plurality of conductors.  
   
   
       14 . A method of manufacturing a suspension assembly comprising: 
 forming substrate and conductors onto a flexure, said substrate including indicia to indicate where the substrate is to be bent.    
   
   
       15 . The method of  claim 14  further comprising: 
 attaching said flexure to a suspension assembly.    
   
   
       16 . The method of  claim 15  further comprising: 
 bending said substrate and conductors at said indicia.
