Abstract
A head suspension has an integrated self-shielding trace conductor array for supporting and electrically interconnecting a dual element read/write head to electronic circuitry in a disk drive. Write traces are placed proximately to the read traces and are grounded during data reading operations in order to serve as a read trace electrostatic shield during the data reading operations.
