Thin film magnetic head with thermal flying height control pads located at both ends of all pads series on slider side plane

Embodiments of the invention prevent the write element lead wires from inducing crosstalk current in the read element lead wires. In one embodiment, a magnetic head slider comprises: a substrate portion; a heating resistor formed on the substrate portion through the intermediary of an insulation layer; a magnetic write element and a magnetic read element which are formed over the heating resistor through the intermediary of an insulation layer; and a terminal array structure provided with first terminals to wire the magnetic write element, second terminals to wire the magnetic read element, and third terminals to wire the heating resistor, wherein two of the third terminals for the heating resistor are located respectively on the opposite outer sides of the first and second terminals. In addition, an arm suspension is provided with a wiring structure in which wires connected to the terminals of the magnetic head slider, wires connected to the terminals, and wires connected to the terminals are guided to a predetermined direction and the magnetic write element lead wires are separated from the magnetic read element lead wires by the wires located in the central portion.
