Abstract
A transducer signal terminator for providing electrical connections between a plurality of read/write transducer lead wires and a preamplifier includes a substrate having a plurality of layers and has a plurality of intermediate strips. A plurality of head pads are located on the substrate to provide interconnection points. The intermediate strips have a plurality of electrically conductive pads with a hole therein, and each lead wire is electrically attached to a pad on the intermediate strip. Each intermediate strip is placed on the substrate such that each of the holes in the electrically conductive pads is aligned with one of the head pads on the substrate. An electrical connection is then formed between each head pad and a corresponding conductive pad of the intermediate strip.
