Abstract

A magnetic head slider assembly for a magnetic disk type recording/reproducing apparatus includes a slider body, a floating pad provided on the slider body and projecting beyond a disk facing surface thereof, a thin film layer disposed at one end of the slider body, a magnetic head constituted by the thin film layer as an integral part thereof, and a core pad projection incorporating therein a core of the magnetic head and projecting beyond an adjacent disk facing surface of the slider body. The core pad projection is not formed as a continuation of the slider body and is separated from the floating pad a predetermined distance longitudinally of the slider body by a recess interposed therebetween whereby the core pad projection is positioned closer to the magnetic disk than a back end of the floating pad whereby influence of a process offset between the slider body and the magnetic head during fabrication process can be eliminated.
