International ClassG11B 005/48Foreign Application Priority Data1995-07-03 JPAbstractA head assembly which can suppress an increase in electric resistance of plural conductor patterns even when a flexure for mounting a head slider becomes small. The head assembly includes a suspension, a flexure formed integrally with the suspension at a front end portion thereof, and a head slider mounted on the flexure and having a transducer. The head assembly further includes a first conductor pattern formed on the suspension and the flexure and having one end connected to the transducer, and a second conductor pattern laminated on the first conductor pattern with an insulator layer interposed therebetween, and having one end connected to the transducer. | |
