See full text

A head gimbal assembly for a hard disk drive includes a head slider having a head element part which performs reading and/or writing of data to/from a magnetic disc and a suspension on which the head slider is mounted. Bonding pads formed on the head slider are formed on a side surface of the head slider except for an air bearing surface (ABS) which faces the magnetic disc and a back surface on a side opposite to the ABS. End peripheries of the bonding pads are arranged to be in contact with an end periphery of the side surface of the head slider which abuts on the back surface of the head slider.
