In the manufacture of disk drive suspension flexures, an absence of exposed unplated conductive trace ends at the locus of severing individual flexures from a panel of flexures is achieved by reducing the cross section a portion of the conductive traces at the locus of severing so that the portion preferentially melts upon passage of a current through the conductive traces, severing the portion and encasing the severed ends in melted plastic from the flexure plastic film layer.
