A system and method for providing a device for reading data is disclosed. The device includes a magnetoresistive element. The method and system include providing a read gap, providing a plurality of leads, and providing an insulator. The read gap covers at least a portion of the magnetoresistive element. The plurality of leads is electrically coupled with the magnetoresistive element. The insulator electrically isolates a portion of each of the plurality of leads. In one aspect, the read gap is formed in a first process and the insulator is formed in a second process decoupled from the first process.
