Abstract
A suspension assembly includes a support plate, a wiring member, and a driving element. The wiring member includes a metal plate, an insulating layer, and a conductive layer. The metal plate includes a base end plate, a support portion on a projection portion formed on the support plate, and a pair of link portions which connect the base endplate to the support portion. The insulating layer includes a first end portion on the support portion, and a pair of bridge portions which are respectively provided in parallel with the link portions and extend from a second end portion that is on the base end plate to the first end portion. The driving element deforms in response to a voltage applied thereto to move the support portion. Each link portion includes a bent portion at a location of a straight line passing through a central region of the driving element.
