Abstract

A heat-assisted magnetic recording (HAMR) head gimbal assembly (HGA) protects the associated HAMR heating source from unwanted contact, such as from contact with an adjacent HAMR laser in response to a shock event. The HGA is configured such that the distance between the flexure and the top of a load beam flange is greater than the height of a submount associated with the heating source, and the height of the submount may also be greater than the height of the heating source, thus protecting against contact between adjacent heating sources.

Description

technical field [0001] Embodiments of the present invention relate generally to hard disk drives, and more particularly to laser-integrated head gimbal assemblies (HeadGimbalAssembly, HGA). Background technique [0002] A Hard Disk Drive (HDD) is a non-volatile storage device that is housed within a protected enclosure and stores digitally encoded data on one or more platters with magnetic surfaces. When the hard disk is in operation, each magnetic recording disk is spun rapidly by the spindle system. Data is read from or written to a magnetic recording disk using a read / write head, which is placed at a specific location on the disk by an actuator. The read / write head uses a magnetic field to read or write data from or to the surface of the magnetic recording disk. The write head utilizes an electric current flowing through a coil, which creates a magnetic field. Electrical pulses with different positive and negative current patterns are sent to the write head. Current i...
