Abstract

A method for fixedly attaching covered wires to a load beam during the manufacturing of a head suspension assembly in order to provide an electrical connection to a head slider. The method includes the steps of passing the covered wires through a transparent tube, inserting a filler into the tube at a point where clamping is required, curing the filler, visually identifying the filer location, and clamping the tube at the filer location.
