Abstract:
1. A thin film magnetic head slider to be used in such a fashion as to face a magnetic recording medium during flying, comprising: a slider substrate supported by a suspension having wiring; a slider thin film stacked on the substrate; an energizer formed between the slider substrate and the slider thin film; a magnetic write device; and a magnetic read device; wherein a terminal of the magnetic write device, a terminal of the magnetic read device, and a terminal of the energizer are formed on an outflow facet of the thin film magnetic head slider; wherein the terminal of the energizer is formed from a conductive material having a higher standard electrode potential in a solution as compared with potentials of the magnetic write device and the magnetic read device, and is electrically connected to a lower pole piece of the magnetic write device or a magnetic shield of the magnetic read device; and wherein a relay terminal of the magnetic write device which is conductively connected to the lower pole piece, is conductively connected to the wiring of the suspension and connected to a ground.
