A suspension board with circuit permits a terminal portion to be formed by
electrolysis plating without exposing a conductor layer to outside and a
production method thereof. After an insulating base layer is formed on a
suspension board in a specific pattern in which a second opening is
formed, a thin metal film is formed on the insulating base layer and on
the suspension board including the second opening exposed from the
insulating base layer. A conductor layer is formed in the form of a wired
circuit pattern on the thin metal film. An insulating cover layer is
formed with a pad opening therein, and a pad portion formed in the pad
opening using the suspension board as a lead portion of the electrolysis
plating. A first opening larger than the second opening is formed in the
suspension board at a portion thereof corresponding to the second
opening.
