Abstract
A flexible mounting slider with anti-static structure includes a slider body, an anti-static structure and a lead layer. The slider body includes an ABS, a slider back surface opposite to the ABS and a trailing edge connected with the ABS and the slider back surface. The trailing edge forms a plurality of slider pads thereon. The anti-static structure is provided on the slider back surface, which includes an insulation plate formed on the slider back surface, an anti-static plate formed on the insulation plate and a grounding element. In the invention, the anti-static plate comprises an insulation layer and an anti-static layer. The grounding element is electrically contacting with the anti-static layer of the anti-static plate and the slider back surface simultaneously. The lead layer is sandwiched between the insulation plate and the insulation layer of the anti-static plate and electrically connected with the slider pads of the slider body.
