Three thin film magnetic head elements 111-113 are formed on a slider at a center and both ends thereof, a wiring pattern for connecting these thin film magnetic head elements selectively to first to fourth contact pads 141-144 is formed to have a multi-layer structure including a plurality of crossing connecting conductors 121-124, 131-134, 161-164, and upper level connecting conductors and lower level connecting conductors are electrically coupled with each other at given cross points determined in accordance with specifications of a thin film magnetic head such that for each of four kinds of thin film magnetic heads of center element- and up-type, center element- and down-type, side element- and up-type and side element- and down-type, normal-type thin film magnetic head and cross-type thin film magnetic head with respect to a connection of a thin film coil can be selectively manufactured. Thin film magnetic heads having desired specifications such as side element-type, center element-type, up-type and down-type can be manufactured promptly with a low cost by common manufacturing process.
