Abstract
A thin film magnetic head has a plurality of electrode terminals formed on substantially the same surface as the head formation surface on which magnetic head element is laminated. The plurality of electrode terminals is arranged in an array near and along the second side of the head formation surface that is opposite the first side on the ABS side, from which the functional end of the magnetic head is exposed. The plurality of electrode terminals is formed to include a pad and a protrusion formed along a part of the periphery of the pad.
