Abstract: A direct access storage device includes at least one disk mounted for rotation about an axis and having opposed disk surfaces for storing data. A magneto-resistive (MR) transducer head is mounted for movement across each respective disk surface for writing to and for reading data signals from the disk surface. Each MR transducer head includes a write element and a read element. A preamplifier, associated with the MR transducer head, amplifies read and write signals of the read element and the write element. A flex cable couples the read and write signals between the preamplifier and the MR transducer heads. The flex cable includes a common read return signal line for each sequential pair of the MR transducer heads.

Abstract: A printed circuit connector terminal pad coating technique is disclosed which functions as a single universal pad surface which supports multiple electrical connection practices including wirebonding, soldering, and wear resistant, pad on pad mechanical connection. The tri-plate surface treatment includes an initial diffusion resistant coating of nickel; an intermediate layer of hard, wear resistant noble or semi-noble metal that provides pad on pad connector reliability and affords a metallurgically stable solder joints and wirebond interfaces; and a final coating of soft gold. The intermediate layer may be pure palladium having a nominal thickness of 35 microinches or a layer of gold, hardened by cobalt, nickel, iron or a combination of these dopants to effect a hardness of 200 to 250 (Knoop scale) . The use of a common surface treatment for the multiple attachment processes is implemented with a single masking step, rather than a sequence of selective masking, plating and stripping operations. In the printed circuit environment, the masking is provided by the final covering that encloses, seals, and electrically insulates the conductors in a circuit board application or in the instance of a flexcable, the adhesive coated flexible coverlay the covers and seals the copper conductor elements while exposing the conductor terminal pads.

Abstract: A PRINTED CIRCUIT CONNECTOR TERMINAL PAD COATING TECHNIQUE IS DISLCOSED WHICH FUNCTIONS AS A SINGLE UNIVERSAL PAD SURFACE WHICH SUPPORTS MULTIPLE ELECTRICAL CONNECTION PRACTICES INCLUDING WIREBONDING, SOLDERING, AND WEAR RESISTANT, PAD ON PAD MECHANICAL CONNECTION. THE TRI-PLATE SURFACE TREATMENT INCLUDES AN INITIAL DIFFUSION RESISTANT COATING (37) OF NICKEL; AN INTERMEDIATE LAYER (39) OF HARD, WEAR RESISTANT NOBLE OR SEMI-NOBLE METAL THAT PROVIDES PAD ON PAD CONNECTOR RELIABILITY AND AFFORDS A METALLURGICALLY STABLE SOLDER JOINTS AND WIREBOND INTERFACES; AND A FINAL COATING (41) OF SOFT GOLD. THE INTERMEDIATE LAYER (39) MAY BE PURE PALLADIUM HAVING A NOMINAL THICKNESS OF (35 MICROINCHES) OR A LAYER OF GOLD, HARDENED BY COBALT, NICKEL, IRON OR A COMBINATION OF THESE DOPANTS TO EFFECT A HARDNESS OF 200 TO 250 (KNOOP SCALE). THE USE OF A COMMON SURFACE TREATMENT FOR THE MULTIPLE ATTACHMENT PRICESSES IS IMPLEMENTED WITH A SINGLE MASKING STEP, RATHER THAN A SEQUENCE OF SELECTIVE MASKING, PLATING AND STRIPPING OPERATIONS. IN THE PRINTER CIRCUIT ENVIRONMENT, THE MASKING IS PROVIDED BY THE FINAL COVERING THAT ENCLOSES, SEALS, AND ELECTRICALLY INSULATES THE CONDUCTORS IN A CIRCUIT BOARD APPLICATION OR IN THE INSTANCE OF A FLEXCABLE, THE ADHESIVE COATED FLEXIBLE COVERLAY (34) THE COVERS AND SEALS THE COPPER CONDUCTOR ELEMENTS WHILE EXPOSING THE CONDUCTOR TERMINAL PADS (33).
