Zusammenfassung:The present invention relates generally to testing equipment for rigid discs, and more particularly to a terminal connector for use with a magnetic recording head. A paddle board with flexible extended leads is provided. The paddle board includes a chassis and a flexible lead portion. The flexible lead portion has wire traces disposed therein for receiving a plurality of wires from a parametric test head. The paddle board may be connected to a socket of a testing assembly for testing the performance of a batch of storage media. The paddle board reduces the amount of damage or breakage to the wires extending from the testing head.
