Abstract

A magnetic head disposed in a slider, that is arranged at an interval from a magnetic disk includes a sensor disposed in a position that is opposed to the magnetic disk, a heat conductive film that is positioned on an air bearing surface opposed to the magnetic disk, and that is formed so as to overlap the sensor, of which a height in a direction perpendicular to the air bearing surface is more than a height of the sensor, and that transfers a temperature change of the air bearing surface to the sensor, and a pair of lead films electrically connected to the sensor and not electrically connected to the heat conductive film.
