Abstract:
1. A magnetic head slider supporting apparatus comprising: a suspension flexibly supporting a magnetic head slider incorporating a write element and a read element, such that the slider faces toward a recording medium; a first line and a second line that are connected to the write element and transmit write signals to be applied to the write element; a third line and a fourth line that are connected to the read element and transmit read signals outputted from the read element; and a conductor electrically connected to the third line, the conductor generating a parasitic capacitance for reducing a potential difference created between the third and fourth lines due to the write signals transmitted through the first and second lines, wherein: the suspension incorporates a plate-spring-shaped load beam; the first to fourth lines include portions disposed along the load beam; the portions of the first to fourth lines disposed along the load beam are located side by side in the order of the first line, the second line, the third line and the fourth line; the conductor is disposed adjacent to the first line with a space, and generates a parasitic capacitance between the first and third lines; and the first line is sandwiched between the second line and the conductor.
