Abstract

A novel flexure or interconnect for a disk drive suspension having a locally different thickness and/or width of insulative layer and a locally different thickness, width and/or relative spacing in its trace conductors to vary capacitance and circuit impedance values accordingly to locally desirable different and optimum values for the type of circuit and the suspension features.
