Abstract: A magnetic head device includes a slider including a thin-film element for writing and/or reading and a support for supporting the slider, the slider being bonded to a joint surface of the support at least partially with a conductive resin. A method for making the magnetic head device includes the steps of (a) applying the conductive resin at least onto a portion of an insulating layer formed on the joint surface of the support, (b) bonding the slider to the joint surface of the support with the conductive resin, and (c) causing dielectric breakdown in the insulating layer lying under the conductive resin before step (b) at the latest.

Abstract: In a magnetic head having a slider provided with a thin-film element used for writing and/or reading, a flexure bonded to the slider and having a tongue which is resiliently deformable, and a conductive resin film electrically connecting the slider to the flexure, the conductive resin film has a conduction starting voltage of 2.0 V or less.

Abstract: A magnetic head includes a slider having any one of recording and reproducing elements, and a flexure having an elastically deformative tongue. The slider and the flexure are bonded together with a resin adhesive therebetween. The resin adhesive has a Young's modulus E in a range of 700 to 5,200 kg/cm2 at 25° C. and a bond strength of 50 gf or more.

Abstract: A magnetic head device whose slider and supporting plate are bonded and affixed together by the use of an adhesive having both photosetting and thermosetting properties. The slider has mounted thereto a magnetic detection section. It is preferable to apply a thermosetting resin to a portion other than those portions to which the adhesive with both photosetting and thermosetting properties has been applied. At one end of the supporting plate where the junction of a tongue, one end of which is a free end, and a slider is provided, the adhesive with both the photosetting and thermosetting properties is applied toward the free end of the tongue, while the thermosetting adhesive is applied toward a base end of the tongue.
