Abstract

A suspension includes a resilient flexure for supporting a magnetic head slider near its one end, and a load beam with a base end portion, for supporting the flexure. Particularly, connection conductors are formed on the flexure in a thin film pattern, and one ends of the connection conductors are to be connected to the magnetic head slider and the other ends of the connection conductors are positioned near the other end of the flexure. The other end of the flexure extends to at least a position of the base end portion of the load beam.
