Claim Text:
1. A suspension board with circuit, comprising: a metal supporting layer; an insulating base layer disposed on a surface of the metal supporting layer located on one side thereof in a thickness direction; a conductive pattern disposed on a surface of the insulating base layer located on one side thereof in the thickness direction; an insulating cover layer disposed on the surface of the insulating base layer located on the one side thereof in the thickness direction so as to cover the conductive pattern; and a pedestal for supporting a slider, the pedestal including a thin pedestal portion, wherein the thin pedestal portion includes: a pedestal base layer included in the insulating base layer; a pedestal conductive layer included in the conductive pattern and disposed so as to extend over the pedestal base layer; and a pedestal cover layer included in the insulating cover layer and disposed on the pedestal conductive layer, the conductive pattern includes a first wire placed so as to extend over the insulating base layer, the first wire has a narrower portion where a dimension in a wire width dimension perpendicular to a direction in which the first wire extends is smallest, and a dimension of the pedestal conductive layer in a pedestal width direction perpendicular to a direction in which the pedestal conductive layer extends is 0.5 to 3 times the dimension of the narrower portion in the wire width direction.
