A disk drive suspension interconnect of a flexible conductive laminate with an electrically insulative layer and a pair of trace conductors supported thereon is shunted by having an insulative layer first portion supporting the trace conductors oppose a deflectable layer second portion free of the trace conductors and disposed beyond the first portion and carrying a shunt structure for connecting in parallel the trace conductors. The shunt structure conductive material is arranged on the second portion to contact in shunting relation the trace conductor pair in the deflected condition of the second portion and further has adhesive arranged thereon to secure the first portion in place.
