Abstract:
1. A suspension substrate, comprising a metal supporting substrate, an insulating layer formed on the metal supporting substrate, and a wiring layer formed on the insulating layer, wherein the metal supporting substrate has, in a recording element mounting region for mounting a recording element, an opening for arranging and fitting thereinto a heat assisting element, wherein the wiring layer has a heat assisting wiring layer having a terminal section for supplying electric power directly to the heat assisting element, wherein the terminal section of the heat assisting wiring layer is a terminal section connected to the heat assisting element on a surface of the terminal section opposite to an insulating-layer-side surface of the terminal section, wherein the terminal section of the heat assisting wiring layer is a terminal section having a structure in which the surface opposite to the insulating-layer-side surface, and the insulating-layer-side surface are exposed, and wherein the terminal section of the heat assisting wiring layer is formed such that the terminal section protrudes towards the opening of the metal supporting substrate and the insulating layer in planar view.
