Abstract
Flexure tails are provided for coupling heads of head gimbal assemblies to a flex cable in a disk drive. An exemplary flexure tail comprises a substrate including a non-straight edge defining a protruding portion and a recessed portion. The recessed portion includes a first number of bonding pads arranged in a primary row, and the protruding portion including a second number of bonding pads arranged in a secondary row. Flexure tails for up and down heads fit together to form a flexure tail assembly in which the respective secondary rows form a single row. Flexure tail assemblies are joined to the flex cable in disk drives of the invention.
