Claims22
A suspension assembly, comprising:
- a support member, including:
- a metal base layer;
- conductive traces on the base layer;
- dielectric between the base layer and the traces of the support member;
- and
- a shape memory alloy wire attach structure;
- and
- a moving member coupled to the support member including:
- a plate;
- flexure arms extending from the plate and coupled to the support member;
- a metal base layer, wherein the plate and flexure arms include the metal base layer;
