A suspension includes a flexure including a conductive substrate, and a dielectric layer formed on the conductive substrate, and the conductive substrate being grounded; and a plurality of electrical traces formed on the dielectric layer and extending from a leading portion to a trailing portion of the flexure, and the electrical traces at least having a pair of read traces. At least one via is formed at certain position on the read traces to connect the read traces with the conductive substrate that is etched partially. It can minimize ESD damage during various stages of manufacturing process of the disk drive unit, reduce manufacturing cost, and also improve electrical performance of the suspension interconnection.

A flexible mounting slider with anti-static structure includes a slider body, an anti-static structure and a lead layer. The slider body includes an ABS, a slider back surface opposite to the ABS and a trailing edge connected with the ABS and the slider back surface. The trailing edge forms a plurality of slider pads thereon. The anti-static structure is provided on the slider back surface, which includes an insulation plate formed on the slider back surface, an anti-static plate formed on the insulation plate and a grounding element. In the invention, the anti-static plate comprises an insulation layer and an anti-static layer. The grounding element is electrically contacting with the anti-static layer of the anti-static plate and the slider back surface simultaneously. The lead layer is sandwiched between the insulation plate and the insulation layer of the anti-static plate and electrically connected with the slider pads of the slider body.
