Abstract:
1. A head slider comprising: a conductible support for mounting the head slider to an arm; a magnetic head part bonded to the conductible support, the magnetic head part carrying out at least one of recording and reproducing of information; and an energizing electrode pad disposed on a first surface of the magnetic head part on a side opposite from the conductible support, the magnetic head part comprising: the first pole of the heater element being electrically connected to the energizing electrode pad, and the second pole of the heater element being conductible by way of a second surface of the magnetic head part, the second surface not being in contact with the first surface and on the opposite side of the first surface, the second pole being electrically connected to the arm, the second pole entering the conductible support through the second surface of the magnetic head part and exiting the conductible support through a surface in direct contact with the arm, and the first and second poles forming a circuit with the heater element and energizing the heater element when current flows through the heater element via the first and second poles.
