Abstract:
1. A magnetic slider comprising: a read head including an upper read shield, a lower read shield, and a magnetoresistive film; a write head including a main magnetic pole piece, an auxiliary magnetic pole piece and a coil; a first wire connected with the coil; a terminal which is electrically connected with the write head and is formed externally; and a second wire which electrically connects the terminal and the main magnetic pole piece without contacting the auxiliary magnetic pole piece; wherein the first and second wires are formed along the same vertical plane with respect to a magnetic disk, and above all portions of the main magnetic pole piece; wherein neither the auxiliary magnetic pole piece nor the read head extend at a depth below a section where the coil is joined with the first wire which connects the coil to a write terminal such that the upper read shield, the lower read shield, the main magnetic pole piece, and the auxiliary magnetic pole piece are aligned at a position away from an air bearing surface.
