Abstract: A suspension system for supporting a magnetic read/write slider comprises a load beam, a slider support member and a flexure comprised of a first flexure arm and a second flexure arm. The electrical conductors to the slider are positioned either along one or both flexure arms or adjacent to, but outside of, the second flexure arm, so as not to contribute to the stiffness of the second flexure arm. The electrical conductors are comprised of a laminated material which includes a conductor layer, such as a high strength copper alloy, a dielectric layer and a support layer. A first plurality of slots extend completely through the first flexible finger region, and a second plurality of slots extend completely through the second flexible finger region for providing regions into which the electrical conductors can move when the flexure undergoes deflections (see fig 12).
