Magnetic head platform incorporating at least one integrated transducer

摘要

A method of producng magnetic head-carrying platforms for supporting one or more integrated transducers arranged on an insulative base and having electrical output strips and an insulating protective member covering the transducer and the output strips provides for joining of the protective member to a substrate with the output strips disposed between the substrate and the member. The surface is treated to expose the ends of the strips which extend beyond the treated surface such that connections to the ends of the output strips may be made by superimposed conductive layers deposited on the treated surface of the substrate. In the fabricated platforms some transducers are in partial alignment in a common plane parallel to the axis of the conductive layers so that at least one output strip of those transducers in partial alignment may be connected by a common output conductive connector. The outermost layer of the deposited output connector strips may be a relatively thick layer to facilitate connection to a flexible connector.
