SPACER DEVICE FOR SLIDER/SUSPENSION AND SPACE CONTROL METHOD

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To control strictly spacing between a slider and a suspension. SOLUTION: A slider/suspension assembly is constituted so as to provide a spacer device separating the slider 56 from the suspension 42 as for a data recording disk file. In such a case, this spacer device contains one or above of solder bumps 66, and their heights are controlled strictly, and the required spacing is given. This spacing device prevents the contact between the slider 56 and the suspension 42.
