Abstract
A gimbal spring apparatus includes a cantilevered tongue having a side edge and a planar mounting surface for an adhesive connection to a magnetic disk head slider. The tongue has an upper surface, opposite to the mounting surface, with a dimple protrusion for point contact with a load beam. Tabs extend from the side edge and is positioned generally adjacent the dimple. The tabs extend below a geometric plane defined by the planar mounting surface and through the adhesive connection for electrical contact with the magnetic disk head slider. The contacts provide an electrical discharge path from the magnetic disk head slider to the gimbal spring for discharging static electricity generated between the slider and a magnetic recording surface.
