Abstract
A head assembly for a data storage device. The head assembly has a suspension. The head assembly also includes a contact pad coupled to the suspension. The head assembly also includes a slider. The slider is coupled to the suspension at the slider mounting point. The slider mounting point is at least partially bounded by polyimide standoffs. The polyimide standoff closest to the contact pad is positioned to reduce the effect of the solder shrinkage moment.
