Abstract
An intermediate article of manufacture of a magnetoresistive head with a protective device having sensor elements with terminal pads and a shunt element connected across the sensor element for shunting the sensor element to discharge static electrical charge during the manufacture of the magnetoresistive head. The shunt element is a piece of solder extending between the first and second terminals.
