Flexure of hard disk drive

A flexure of a hard disk drive comprising:

• a metal base including a metal plate;
• and
• a conductive member formed on the metal base,
• wherein:
• the conductive member comprises an insulating layer formed on the metal base and a conductive layer formed on the insulating layer,
• the insulating layer has a flat portion parallel to the metal base and an elevated portion projected from the flat portion,
• the elevated portion has an upper surface parallel to the metal base and a side surface connecting the upper surface and the flat portion,
• the conductive layer has a connecting terminal formed along the side surface,
• the connecting terminal is covered with a plated layer formed of metal, and
• the plated layer is opposed to the side surface via the connecting terminal.
