An interconnect that may reduce a head slider's exposure to electrostatic
discharge events and may dissipate charging of the head is provided.
Conductive and nonconductive adhesives are used to adhere a head slider
to the interconnect. An electromagnetic interference generating circuit
generates current that flows through the conductive adhesive bonding the
head slider to the flexure arm. The electromagnetic interference current
breaks down the resistance of the conductive adhesive to dissipate an
electrostatic voltage charge on the head slider. This may prolong the
life of the head slider and a read/write head coupled to the head slider.
