Abstract
Abstract A magnetic head mount assembly for accessing data tracks recorded on a magnetic medium includes a mounting post (10), an arm (16) which supports the post in close-fitting engagement, and a yoke (18) on which printed circuit connections are disposed. An end portion of the post is slotted (28a, 28b) to receive electrical leads (22) for connection to a ferrite magnetic transducer core (24) which forms part of an otherwise ceramic air bearing slider (26) positioned over the slotted end portion of the post. The arm element is preferably of hollow frusto-conical form.
