Suspension board with circuit
A suspension board with circuit includes a slider mounting region configured to mount a slider thereon, a pedestal portion provided in the slider mounting region and configured to support the slider, and a dam portion provided in the slider mounting region and configured to prevent an adhesive fixing the slider from flowing out of the slider mounting region. The thickness of the pedestal portion is thicker than that of the dam portion.
