Thus, the pedestal can be efficiently formed without separately adding a step, while the connecting terminal can be surely brought closer to the terminal of the slider.

The present invention [7] includes a method for producing a suspension board with circuit described in the above-described [5] including the steps of preparing the metal supporting board, forming the first base insulating layer so as to dispose the first terminal region-insulating layer at the one side in the thickness direction of the metal supporting board, the first circumferential region-insulating layer at the one side in the thickness direction of the metal supporting board, and the first base pedestal layer at the one side in the thickness direction of the metal supporting board, forming the second base insulating layer so as to dispose at least the second terminal region-insulating layer at the one side in the thickness direction of the first terminal region-insulating layer and the second base pedestal layer at the one side in the thickness direction of the first base pedestal layer, forming the conductor layer including the connecting terminal at the one side in the thickness direction of the base insulating layer, and forming the cover insulating layer exposing the connecting terminal and covering the conductor layer so as to dispose the cover pedestal layer at the one side in the thickness direction of the second base pedestal layer.

According to the method, the suspension board with circuit in which the thickness of the terminal region is thicker than that of the circumferential region, and the connecting terminal can be brought closer to the terminal of the slider in the thickness direction can be produced.
