Abstract
An element accommodation portion is formed in an electrically conductive plate member which constitutes a part of a suspension. A microactuator element comprising a piezoelectric element is located in the element accommodation portion. An electrically conductive resin member is disposed in a region covering junctions for electrically connecting the conductive plate member and the microactuator element. A pit is formed in the junction of the conductive plate member by partial-etching. A part of the conductive resin member is in the pit. A part of an outer peripheral edge of the conductive resin member is located inside an edge of the pit. The conductive resin member is covered by a cover layer.
