Abstract

In accordance with certain embodiments, a magnetic head has a coil, which has a lead coil turn positioned between a yoke and an air-bearing surface. In certain embodiments, a magnetic head has a coil, which has a lead coil turn minimally spaced from a main write pole.

Claims (33)

1. A magnetic head comprising:

a coil having a lead coil turn positioned at an air-bearing surface.

2. The magnetic head of claim 1 , wherein the lead coil turn is positioned adjacent to a main write pole.

3. The magnetic head of claim 2 , wherein the lead coil turn is encapsulated.

4. The magnetic head of claim 2 , further comprising:

a plurality of coils helically wrapped around a yoke magnetically coupled to the main write pole.

5. The magnetic head of claim 2 , further comprising:

a plurality of coils wrapped around a yoke in a single pancake design, the yoke being magnetically coupled to the main write pole.

6. The magnetic head of claim 2 , further comprising:

a plurality of coils wrapped around a yoke in a double pancake design, the yoke being magnetically coupled to the main write pole.

7. The magnetic head of claim 1 , further comprising:

a near field transducer; and

waveguide core surrounded by a waveguide cladding.

8. The magnetic head of claim 7 , wherein the near field transducer contacts the main write pole.

9. The magnetic head of claim 1 , wherein the lead coil turn is minimally spaced from a main write pole.

10. The magnetic head of claim 9 , wherein the main write pole is sloped.

11. A magnetic head comprising:

a coil having a lead coil turn positioned closer to an air-bearing surface than any portion of a yoke.

12. The magnetic head of claim 11 , wherein the lead coil turn is positioned adjacent a main write pole.

13. The magnetic head of claim 12 , further comprising:

a near field transducer; and

waveguide core surrounded by a waveguide cladding.

14. The magnetic head of claim 13 , wherein the lead coil turn is positioned at an air bearing surface.

15. The magnetic head of claim 13 , wherein the near field transducer contacts the main write pole.

16. The magnetic head of claim 13 , further comprising:

a plurality of coils helically wrapped around the yoke.

17. The magnetic head of claim 13 , further comprising:

a plurality of coils wrapped around a yoke in a single pancake design.

18. The magnetic head of claim 13 , wherein the lead coil turn is encapsulated.

19. A magnetic head having an air-bearing surface, the magnetic head comprising:

a yoke, back pedestal return pole, and write pole coupled together; and

a coil having a lead coil turn positioned closer to the air-bearing surface than any portion of the yoke.

20. The magnetic head of claim 19 , wherein the lead coil turn is positioned adjacent to a main write pole.
