| U.S. Cl. 360—264.2 | 4 Claims |
| 1. A method, comprising:
electrically coupling at least one electrical trace termination pad to a slider;
electrically coupling a head stack assembly flexible circuit to a control circuit;
electrically coupling the at least one electrical trace termination pad to the head stack assembly flexible circuit with a
pre-amplifier with an integrated connector;
coupling the pre-amplifier to an actuator circuit board mounted on an actuator arm
pressure coupling the pre-amplifier to the at least one electrical trace termination pad using at least one slider spring
probe claw protruding from the pre-amplifier; and
pressure coupling the pre-amplifier to at least one electrical actuator controller connection tab of the head stack assembly
flexible circuit using at least one controller spring probe claw protruding from the pre-amplifier.
