Abstract
A write element for recording data on a magnetic medium is provided having an impedance designed to substantially match the impedance of an electrical interconnection between it and a pre-amp chip located nearby on the load beam. Additional embodiments are directed to incorporating a read element with the write element to form a read/write head, and to further incorporate the read/write head into a magnetic disk drive. Further embodiments are directed towards the fabrication of the write element.
