Abstract

ESD is prevented in a disk drive suspension electrical interconnect having plural pairs of conductive traces supported by an insulative film by disposing a material having a lower resistivity than the insulative film but not so low that the conductive traces are shunted. The material is disposed in or on the film and is to be connected to ground.
