Abstract

A head suspension has an integrated multi-layer trace conductor array for supporting and electrically interconnecting a read/write head to electronic circuitry in a disk drive. The trace conductor array includes an integrally formed electrical shield which may be grounded or ungrounded and formed to have a depth greater than a skin effect depth at a frequency of an interfering wave front.
