A magnetic head assembly is provided. The magnetic head assembly includes
a slider in which a head element is mounted. A flexure supports the
slider. The flexure includes a pair of outriggers, a connection portion,
and a tongue portion. A flexible wiring substrate is fixedly bonded to
the surface of the flexure. An electrode pad of the slider and an
electrode pad of the flexible wiring substrate are bonded to each other
by solder. A plurality of solder bonded portions are arranged on the
connection portion. A deformable portion is formed in the pair of
outriggers and located on an extended line on which the solder bonded
portions are arranged, so that the free end side of the flexure is
deformable.
