Abstract
Optimized stiffness in a disk drive suspension comprising a load beam and a flexure structure is realized by forming the flexure structure from a flexure and a flexible conductor in which the conductor is a laminate of conductive metal and plastic and has an easily controlled and relatively higher spring constant, while the flexure has a relatively lower spring constant.
