Abstract
A disk drive suspension assembly has a load beam and a laminated flexure attached to the load beam. The laminated flexure includes a structural layer with a head mounting tongue, and first and second conductive layers. A first dielectric layer is disposed between the structural layer and the first conductive layer, and a second dielectric layer is disposed between the first conductive layer and the second conductive layer. The first conductive layer includes a first plurality of interleaved traces with at least a first conductive trace and a second conductive trace separated by a first lateral intertrace spacing. The second conductive layer includes a second plurality of interleaved traces with at least a third conductive trace and a fourth conductive trace separated by a second lateral intertrace spacing. The fourth conductive trace overlies the first lateral intertrace spacing and the first conductive trace underlies the second lateral intertrace spacing.
