    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a laminated actuator arm assembly having the structure to easily fix the lead wires between a coil and flexible cables. SOLUTION: The laminated actuator arm assembly to be used for a magnetic disk memory device has small holes 64 penetrating the lead wires 62, 63 into the coil supporting parts 55 of spacers 54. Since the spacers 54 are manufactured by blanking of flat plates, the free formation of the structure holding the lead wires like in casting mold formation is not possible but the formation of the small holes by this invention is easy. If the lead wires after passed through the small holes are treated in a subsequent production stag, the peeling of the wires by the exertion of the force at the boundaries between the wires of the coil and the lead wires does not arise. The movement of the lead wires and the contact thereof with other parts of the magnetic disk memory device during working do not arise either.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for washing the entire part of a laminated actuator arm assembly after the end of solder connection. SOLUTION: This washing method has a stage for aligning and laminating one or plural head/suspension assemblies 51 and one or plural spacers 53, 54, a stage for forming a first sub-assembly by fixing the laminated head/suspension assemblies and the spacers, a stage for forming the second sub-assembly by connecting the lead wires of the first sub-assembly and a flexible cable 76, a stage for washing the second sub-assembly and a stage for mounting a pivot 71 to the washed second sub-assembly.
