The magnetic head of the present invention is a small magnetic head capable of reducing inertia working thereto. The magnetic head of the present invention includes a suspension having a front end section and a rear end section, a slider mounting section formed in the front end section of the suspension, and a slider mounted on the slider mounting section. The slider has a front end face and a rear end face, in which a read/write element is formed. The rear end face of the slider includes the read/write element, and is headed to the rear end section of the suspension.
1. A magnetic head, comprising:
a suspension having a front end section and a rear end section;
a slider mounting section being formed in the front end section of said suspension; and
a slider being mounted on said slider mounting section, said slider having an end face, in which a read/write element is formed,
wherein the end face of said slider including the read/write element is headed to the rear end section of said suspension, and
a connecting section, which connects terminals of the read/write element to cable patterns connected to said slider, is formed in a part of the end face of said slider including the read/write element,
wherein a front end of said slider is forwardly projected from a front end of said slider mounting section, such that no portion of said suspension extends more forward then the front end of said slider.
2. The magnetic head according to claim 1 ,
wherein a planar shape of said slider mounting section is formed into a rectangular shape corresponding to a planar shape of said slider.
3. The magnetic head according to claim 1 ,
wherein said slider mounting section is connected to said suspension by an adjusting section, which adjusts elasticity applied to said slider, and said slider mounting section, said adjusting section and said suspension are integrated in one piece.
4. A magnetic head, comprising:
a suspension having a front end section and a rear end section;
a slider mounting section being formed in the front end section of said suspension; and
a slider being mounted on said slider mounting section, said slider having an end face, in which a read/write element is formed,
wherein the end face of said slider including the read/write element is headed to the rear end section of said suspension, and
wherein said slider mounting section is connected to said suspension by an adjusting section, which includes two generally L-shaped arms, with each of the generally L-shaped arms including an end portion that connects with a side surface of said slider mounting section.
