  • Publication number: 20050237661
    Abstract: A packaging tray for disk drive head suspension assemblies is comprised of a generally rectangular frame having longitudinal members adapted to support suspension assemblies. A baseplate support member and a flexure tail support member are adapted to support both complementary upper and lower suspension assemblies. A load beam limiter prevents plastic deformation of suspension assembly load beams. The packaging tray is provided with alignment notches and corresponding pins and centrally located datums to assist in orientating the tray in automated processes. A first corner of the frame is chamfered to provide further orientation assistance. The packaging tray has a reduced area of planar elements tending to retain water volume.
