- 1. A thin-film magnetic head comprising: a floating slider having a floating surface, an end surface at the trailing edge of said slider transverse to and adjacent said floating surface, and a pair of side surfaces transverse to and adjoining said floating and end surfaces, two pairs of deep recesses, said pairs of recesses each being provided on said side surfaces and said end surface; a pair of thin-film magnetic head elements formed between said two pairs of recesses; and terminals formed by completely filling up said recesses of the floating slider with a conductive material; characterized in that each terminal has a front surface exposed in said end surface of the floating slider and a side surface exposed in the side surface of said floating slider adjacent to said end surface, lead wires may be connected respectively to the side surfaces of the terminals exposed respectively in the side surfaces of the floating slider adjacent to the end surface of the same.
- 2. The thin-film magnetic head according to claim 1, including a protective film overlying said end surface.
- 3. The thin-film magnetic head according to claim 1, wherein said terminals each have a single surface which is flush with said side surface.
- 4. The thin-film magnetic head according to claim 1, wherein said front surfaces of said terminals are flush with said end surface.
- 5. The thin-film magnetic head according to claim 1, wherein said terminals are elongate in the direction normal to said end surface.
- 6. A thin-film magnetic head according to claim 1, wherein the terminals formed by filling up said recesses are located on two opposite side surfaces of said slider.
