Abstract
A method for manufacturing a magnetic recording head slider is disclosed. A plurality of bond pads are formed in a linear arrangement adjacent one another on a trailing edge of a slider body. Each of the plurality of bond pads comprises a probe contact area and a soldering contact area with each area being laterally bounded in a width dimension, along the trailing edge, by respective edges of the pads wherein a width of the probe contact area is greater than a width of the soldering contact area of each respective pad whereby the probe contact area is larger than the soldering contact area.
