Abstract

To restrain temperature rise by controlling heat radiation from an IC. More specifically, an area of junctioning pads which are in contact with an IC is enlarged to substantially overlap the whole or at least half or more of the area of the IC. Further, the IC is covered with an overcoat which protrudes to other parts of a head supporting mechanism.
