Abstract
A wired flexure comprises a substrate formed of an electrically conductive material, a read wire provided on the substrate so as to extend along the substrate, a write wire provided on the substrate so as to extend along the read wire, a slit formed between the read and write wires, etc. The slit extends along the read and write wires and divides the substrate between a first portion on the read wire side and a second portion on the write wire side. The slit is situated nearer to the read wire than to the write wire.

A wiring member of a suspension for a disc drive, comprising:
- a substrate formed of an electrically conductive material;
- a read wire provided on an electrical insulating layer on the substrate so as to extend along the substrate;
- a write wire provided on the electrical insulating layer on the substrate so as to extend along the read wire;
- and
- a slit formed between the read wire and the write wire and extending along the wires so as to divide the substrate between a first portion on a read wire side and a second portion on a write wire side;
- wherein a part of the substrate is provided with a connecting portion connecting the first and second portions.
