Abstract
A carriage arm assembly is disclosed that has a sub-assembly and a signal relay member that is arranged on a side surface of an arm portion of a carriage arm of the sub-assembly for connection between a head slider and a head IC. The signal relay member includes a wire, a wrapping portion that is formed from a synthesized resin mixed with a charging prevention agent, and two pairs of hooks that are projecting from the wrapping portion. When the hooks are in contact with the arm portion of the carriage arm, static electricity possessed by the signal relay member flows away through the carriage arm, and this prevents a magnetic head at the end of the head slider from being destroyed by the static electricity. In addition, the hooks are engaged with grooves on the signal relay member so as to position the signal relay member on the arm portion.
