Abstract

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.

Claims (27)

1. A suspension board with circuit comprising:

a slider mounting region where a slider is to be mounted,

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 for fixing the slider from flowing out of the slider mounting region, wherein

the thickness of the pedestal portion is thicker than that of the dam portion in a thickness direction which is orthogonal to a longitudinal direction and a width direction of the suspension board with circuit, where the longitudinal direction of the suspension board with circuit is defined as a front-rear direction along an elongated length of the suspension board with circuit, and the width direction is perpendicular to the longitudinal direction in a common plane therewith.

2. A suspension board with circuit comprising:

a slider mounting region where a slider is to be mounted,

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 for fixing the slider from flowing out of the slider mounting region, wherein

the thickness of the pedestal portion is thicker than that of the dam portion, further comprising:

a conductive layer,

a first cover insulating layer covering one surface in a thickness direction of the conductive layer, and

a second cover insulating layer disposed at one surface in the thickness direction of the first cover insulating layer, and

the pedestal portion includes

a pedestal conductive layer included in the conductive layer,

a pedestal first cover insulating layer included in the first cover insulating layer and covering one surface in the thickness direction of the pedestal conductive layer, and

a pedestal second cover insulating layer included in the second cover insulating layer and disposed at one surface in the thickness direction of the pedestal first cover insulating layer;

the dam portion includes

a dam conductive layer included in the conductive layer,

a dam first cover insulating layer included in the first cover insulating layer and covering one surface in the thickness direction of the dam conductive layer, and

a dam second cover insulating layer included in the second cover insulating layer and disposed at one surface in the thickness direction of the dam first cover insulating layer; and

the minimum size in a direction orthogonal to the thickness direction of the pedestal conductive layer is larger than that in a direction orthogonal to the thickness direction of the dam conductive layer.

3. The suspension board with circuit according to claim 2 , wherein

the conductive layer includes a wire and

the minimum size of the dam conductive layer is the same as that in a direction orthogonal to the thickness direction of the wire.

4. The suspension board with circuit according to claim 3 , wherein

the dam conductive layer is the wire.
