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.
Abstract:
A wired circuit board, including a metal supporting layer; an insulating layer formed on one side of the metal supporting layer in a thickness direction thereof; and a conductive layer having a plurality of terminal portions placed to be spaced apart from each other and formed on one side of the insulating layer in the thickness direction. The insulating layer has a first opening which is formed to include the plurality of terminal portions, and the metal supporting layer includes a second opening formed to include the plurality of terminal portions, when projected in the thickness direction. The wired circuit board further includes at least one reinforcing insulating portion which is placed between the plurality of terminal portions in the first opening, and/or at least one reinforcing metal supporting portion which is placed between the plurality of terminal portions in the second opening, when projected in the thickness direction.
Abstract:
A suspension board with circuit includes one pair of pedestals. A pedestal conductive layer of one pedestal has a fan portion and a continuous portion. The pedestal conductive layer of the other pedestal has at least the fan portion. When the pedestal conductive layer of the other pedestal has only the fan portion, the pedestal supporting layer is disposed so as to be overlapped with the fan portion in the thickness direction in each of the pedestals and so as not to be overlapped with the continuous portion in the one pedestal and when the pedestal conductive layer of the other pedestal has the continuous portion, the pedestal supporting layer is disposed so as to be overlapped with the continuous portion or is disposed so as to be overlapped with the fan portion and so as not to be overlapped with the continuous portion in each of the pedestals.
Abstract:
A wired circuit board includes an insulating layer to be formed with an opening extending therethrough in a thickness direction of the wired circuit board, a conductive layer formed on one surface of the insulating layer in the thickness direction and including a one-side terminal portion, an other-side terminal portion formed on the other surface of the insulating layer in the thickness direction, disposed so as to overlap the opening and the one-side terminal portion when projected in the thickness direction, and used to be connected to an electronic element via a conductive adhesive, and a conductive portion filling the opening to provide electrical conduction between the one-side terminal portion and the other-side terminal portion.
