A suspension (30) has an extending end and the other end. A head IC chip mounting prearranged portion (65; 65A; 65B) is provided between the extending end and the other end of the suspension. A head slider (90) is loaded on a first surface of the suspension at a position on the side of the extending end with respect to the head IC chip mounting prearranged portion, the head slider integrally including a head (92). A head IC chip (100; 100A; 100B) is mounted at the head IC chip mounting prearranged portion of the suspension. First wiring patterns (42a through 45a) extend along the suspension between a portion of the suspension at which the head slider is loaded and the head IC chip mounting prearranged portion. Second wiring patterns (42b through 45b) extend along the suspension between the head IC chip mounting prearranged portion and the other end of the suspension. The head IC chip is mounted at the head IC chip mounting prearranged portion in a manner in which a certain portion of the head IC chip is positioned on the side of a second surface of the suspension opposite to the first surface. |
