On the surface of the load beam, a flexible wiring pattern is jointed. The wiring pattern passes nearly through a center of the load beam and through a broad portion beside the fastening member. An extension wiring pattern is obtained by extending the wiring pattern from the broad portion to a circuit board attached to the actuator. At least on one side of the guide arm, a convex cross-sectional portion is so provided that opposite splice of generally flush to load beam mounting surfaces of the guide. To the respective of the splice planes, extension wiring patterns are jointed.
