A head actuator assembly comprises a plate-like suspension having a distal end portion mounting with a magnetic head, and a trace having a relay FPC attached to the suspension through a lining plate. A head IC is mounted on the relay FPC and positioned near the magnetic head. In an area which faces the head IC, insulation layers of the FPC are removed, and an opening is formed in the lining plate and suspension. A wiring pattern of the relay FPC is exposed through this opening.
