The invention provides a magnetic head capable of positively preventing electrostatic breakdown of an MR magnetic head device, and a method of manufacturing the magnetic head. A circuit board comprises at least a pair of leads for constructing a circuit, lands connected respectively to the leads, and solder bumps formed respectively on the lands. The solder bumps are arranged in an adjacent relationship and, when the solder bumps are crushed, peripheral portions of the solder bumps are pressed or spread so as to overlap with each other. The magnetic head includes the circuit board.

A flexible wiring board for a magnetic head assembly is provided. The flexible wiring board includes a wiring pattern connected to a head body at one end and to an external circuit system at the other end, an insulation protection film that protects the wiring pattern, and a base composed of a metal that extends over the insulation protection film and the wiring pattern. The base has a guide through hole that functions as a guide for bending the base. The guide through hole has a plurality of notches disposed at different positions in a length direction of the base. The notches reduce a remaining width of the base in a bend width direction of the base.

A magnetic head may include a flexure coupled to a leading end of a load beam. The flexure may include a fixing portion fixed to the load beam, a pair of outriggers extending from opposite ends of the fixing portion toward the leading end of the load beam, a connector connecting the outriggers, a blade spring extending from a center of the connector toward the fixing portion in a space between the outriggers, and a tongue-shaped piece connected to and supported by the blade spring and having a slider on its surface facing a recording medium. The flexure may further include one or more slits. Thus, the tongue-shaped piece may be displaceably supported against elastic stress of portions of the blade spring and the connector.

A correcting method for reducing variations in floating height and gram load of a floating-type magnetic head device is disclosed. The floating-type magnetic head device includes a load beam, a flexure that has an elastically flexible tongue piece and disposed in the load beam adjacent to the recording medium, and a head body fixed on the surface of the tongue piece adjacent to the recording medium. During rotation of the recording medium, the head body floats over the recording medium. The correcting method includes a first correcting step of detecting a roll-angle corresponding amount in the free state of the front end of the front end and bending the load beam in the direction where the roll-angle corresponding amount approaches zero, and a second correcting step of putting the floating-type magnetic head device into a temporarily mounted state with respect to the load beam, detecting a roll-angle corresponding amount at the tongue piece of the flexure in the temporarily mounted state, and bending at least one of the left and right outriggers in the direction where the roll-angle corresponding amount approaches zero.

A magnetic head slider and a method of manufacturing the same. At a leading side of a slider substrate, a shock absorbing layer is provided which has a hardness lower than a hardness of the slider substrate, and a projecting portion is provided on a surface of the shock absorbing layer. If an external force is applied to the slider substrate and the leading side of the slider substrate becomes closer to a magnetic disk, only the projecting portions contact with the magnetic disk. A height of a convex portion and a depth of a concave portion, which are generated on the surface of the magnetic disk, can be decreased, so that it is possible to prevent the magnetic disk from being damaged.

A head element support apparatus having a load beam including a first elastic member, a second elastic member. The elastic members are fixedly joined together at a joining portion. The first elastic member has a first elastically deformable portion, the second elastic member has a second elastically deformable portion, and the bending rigidity of the first elastically deformable portion is lower than the bending rigidity of the second elastically deformable portion. The second elastically deformable portion is deformable about an intermediate pivot. The balance between a floating force and a load pressure, acting on a slider, may be maintained, and consequently, and the slider may move in a rolling direction and a pitching direction.

A head gimbal assembly has a gimbal suspension that includes a metal flexure bonded to a slider having a magnetic head element. This head gimbal assembly prevents damage from electrostatic discharge more efficiently. In the head gimbal assembly, a region of an oxide film on a slider-bonding surface of the flexure is completely or incompletely removed to form a film-removed region, and conductive adhesive resin is disposed between the film-removed region and the slider.

A method for mounting a flexible flexure, which has a slider fixed thereto and having an electro-magnetic conversion element integrally, on a load beam includes the steps of joining a main flexure, which has a junction piece for joining the load beam, to the load beam with the junction piece therebetween; inspecting characteristics by floating the electromagnetic conversion element onto a magnetic disc; when the characteristics do not satisfy a reference as a result of the inspection, removing the main flexure from the load beam by cleaving the main flexure at a cleavage part disposed in a vicinity of the junction piece; and at least one time joining a sub-flexure having no junction piece to the load beam, from which the main flexure is removed.
