Abstract

An integrated lead flexure includes a base region and a gimbal extending from the base region and having a slider mounting region. A conductive assembly, which is configured to carry current between the slider mounting region and the base region, includes a current carrying structure electrically connected with a pattern of conductive lossy material. The pattern of conductive lossy material is configured to reduce a bandwidth of the current carrying structure.
