Abstract
A suspension for use in a magnetic disk drive comprised of a load beam having a first wing and a second wing which wrap around the actuator arm and provide a site for attachment of a wiring tail. A mount plate is positioned over the actuator arm for securing the load beam to the actuator arm. The first wing and the second wing are positioned within the thickness of the actuator arm so that the thickness of the actuator arm/load beam assembly is minimized and the shock loading threshold is increased.
