  • Shunt for magnetoresistive transducer heads for electrostatic discharge protection
    Patent number: 8743510
    Abstract: A magnetoresistive transducer head assembly includes a reader element, a writer element and a high impedance shunt electrically connecting the reader element and the writer element. The high impedance shunt provides a high impedance conductive path for maintaining electrostatic charge equipotential between the reader element and the writer element.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 3, 2012
    Date of Patent: June 3, 2014
    Assignee: International Business Machines Corporation
    Inventors: Peter J. Golcher, Icko E. T. Iben, Ho-Yiu Lam, Jose Luis A. Salenga
