ABSTRACT:
A head gimbal assembly has a gimbal suspension that includes a metal flexure bonded to a slider having a magnetic head element. This head gimbal assembly prevents damage from electrostatic discharge more efficiently. In the head gimbal assembly, a region of an oxide film on a slider-bonding surface of the flexure is completely or incompletely removed to form a film-removed region, and conductive adhesive resin is disposed between the film-removed region and the slider.
