Abstract
Provided is an HGA with a radiation structure that can effectively get away the heat generated from a light source. The HGA comprises a suspension and a head comprising a slider and a light source unit. The suspension comprises an opening, and the light source unit projects through the opening to the opposite side to the slider in relation to the suspension. Further, the first and second pads are provided on the upper and lower surfaces of the suspension, respectively, the end surface opposite to the source-installation surface of the light source is connected to the first pad by the first connection member, and an electrode of the head part is connected to the second pad by the second connection member. Thus, heat flow paths can be provided from the light source to the opposed-to-medium surface to allow effective radiation of the heat generated from the light source.
