Abstract
An improved connector apparatus for electrically coupling a magnetic transducer to the read/write electronics of a magnetic recording system is described. The connector apparatus includes a first connector having an elongated substrate with a plurality of first bonding pads on one end connected to a corresponding plurality of second bonding pads on the other end. The invention further includes a second connector having a plurality of third bonding pads on one end connected to a plurality of fourth bonding pads on the other end. Bonding pads are included for aligning the first bonding pads with the terminals of the conductive cable that is connected to the electronics of the magnetic system and the second bonding pads with the third bonding pads to facilitate electrical interconnection between the first and second connectors.
