Abstract
A magnetic disk drive unit includes a slider having a transducer mounted on one end thereof, and a spring arm for biasing the slider toward a magnetic disk. A flexure is integrally formed on a distal end portion of the spring arm, and the slider is attached to a slider placing-section of the flexure. A slit extending in a direction generally at a right angle to a longitudinal direction of the slider is formed in the slider placing-section, so that a shrinking force of an adhesive agent is cut off by this slit, thereby preventing deformation of the slider caused by the shrinking force of the adhesive agent. A flexible printed-wiring board is attached to a back surface of the spring arm, and terminals of the transducer are connected to a printed-wiring board of the magnetic disk drive unit through this flexible printed-wiring board.
