Patent ID: 7359149

Claim:
A composite type thin-film magnetic head, comprising: a write head element; a pair of terminal pads for said write head element; a pair of lead conductors for said write head element, electrically connecting said write head element to said pair of terminal pads for said write head element; a read head element; a pair of terminal pads for said read head element; and a pair of lead conductors for said read head element, electrically connecting said read head element to said pair of terminal pads for said read head element, said pair of lead conductors for said write head element and said pair of lead conductors for said read head element, formed into patterns where said pair of lead conductors for said write head element and said pair of lead conductors for said read head element have overlapped portions with each other only through an insulating layer, and each capacitance between the lead conductor for said write head element and the lead conductor for said read head element has a value of 0.1 pF or less.
