Abstract:
1. A magnetic write head, comprising: a magnetic write pole extending to an air bearing surface; a magnetic return pole, magnetically connected with the write pole in a region removed from the air bearing surface; a helical coil arranged around the write pole so as to induce a magnetic flux in the write pole when electrical current flows through the write coil, the write coil further, comprising: a plurality of lower, substantially planar leads disposed in a leading direction relative to the write pole; a plurality of upper, substantially planar leads disposed in a leading direction relative to the write pole; and a plurality of electrically conductive studs, each electrically conducting stud connecting one of the lower leads with an upper lead, and wherein each of upper and lower leads extends beyond the electrically conductive stud to which it is connected to form a heat conducting fin extending laterally outward for dissipating heat from the write head.
