Abstract of the Disclosure A slider bearing (i) a head for accessing information on a rotating medium and (ii) conductive terminals for the head, is designed with the conductive terminals mounted on the largest surface of the slider that is not the surface closest to the rotating medium; or on a surface of the slider parallel to the surface closest to the rotating medium; or the terminals and the head are mounted on different surfaces of the slider. In another aspect, an apparatus for supporting, on an arm, a head for accessing information on a rotating medium comprises a slider on which the head is mounted in a position for accessing the information, the slider bearing conductive terminals electrically connected to the head; and suspension elements supporting the slider on the arm, the suspension elements having a fixed configuration defining predetermined mechanical characteristics to enable the slider to assume a desired orientation relative to the rotating medium; the suspension elements provide conductive paths from the terminals to the arm. Another general feature of the invention is a method of making multiple sliders in a batch process by depositing multiple copies of the head in an array of rows and columns on one surface of a block of material, slicing the block into bars along one dimension, depositing multiple copies of the conductive terminals for the head on a surface of the bar adjacent to the surface on which the head is deposited, wherein the conductive paths between the head and the conductive terminals wrap over a corner between the adjacent surfaces, and slicing the bar into individual sliders.
