A slider may have a first surface on an air bearing surface (ABS) and a laser recess formed in a second surface of the slider, opposite the first surface. A laser can then be positioned in the laser recess with the laser extending from the slider to a top plane. A stud may be formed adjacent to and separated from the laser on the second surface of the slider with the stud extending from the second surface of the slider to the top plane.
