Abstract
A method and system for providing a tape head subassembly is disclosed. The method and system include providing a device, a left head block segment and a right head block segment. The device is for writing to a media. The left head block segment includes an integrated outrigger rail and has a first space. The right head block segment includes a first wear bar and a second wear bar and has a second space therein. The first and second wear bars are integrated as part of the right head block segment. The second space separating the first wear bar from the second wear bar and is configured to fit the device. The tape head subassembly is formed by bonding the device, the right head block segment and the left head block segment such that the device fits into the first space and the second space.
