Suspension board with circuit

A suspension board with circuit configured to be capable of mounting thereon an external slider on which a magnetic head is mounted and an external electronic element provided in a vicinity of the magnetic head, comprising:

• a metal supporting board;
• a first insulating layer laminated on a top surface of the metal supporting board;
• a first conductive pattern including a first terminal laminated on the top surface side of the first insulating layer;
• a second insulating layer laminated on a back surface of the metal supporting board;
• and
• a second conductive pattern including a second terminal laminated on the back surface side of the second insulating layer, wherein
• the suspension board with circuit is formed with a communication space extending therethrough in a top-back direction,
• the first terminal is configured such that the magnetic head of the slider is electrically connected thereto,
• the second terminal is configured such that the electronic element is electrically connected thereto, and at least one pair of the second terminals are provided with the communication space being interposed therebetween to allow the electronic element to extend therebetween, and,
• when projected in the top-back direction, respective end edges of the first insulating layer and the second insulating layer are protruding into the communication space to positions inner than that of an end edge of the metal supporting board.
