When bonding is performed using a thermosetting adhesive, sufficient strength can be obtained even when the bonding area is small, but the positioning and bonding jig 10 must be put into an oven during heat curing for processing. Therefore, the use efficiency of the positioning and bonding jig is poor, and a huge number of jigs corresponding to the production amount of the magnetic head are required. For this reason, not only the variation in the positional accuracy between the jigs becomes large, but also the management of the positional accuracy becomes complicated. In addition, the heating in the oven causes the jig to thermally change with time, and the positioning mechanism is disturbed. From this point, it is very difficult to control the positional accuracy. In addition, since not only the magnetic head slider and the entire suspension but also the jig are heated, the heat capacity to be heated increases, the heating time becomes longer, and the overall heating conditions are determined by the heat resistance conditions of the portion having poor heat resistance. Will be done.

(2) Method using UV adhesive For example, a method described in JP-A-5-325460 is used. A UV adhesive is applied to a magnetic head slider and superposed on a predetermined position of a suspension. In this state, ultraviolet rays are irradiated to cure and bond the UV adhesive.

If the bonding is performed using a UV adhesive, it is not necessary to put the bonding jig into the oven, so that the positional accuracy of the jig due to heating can be prevented from being deviated, and there is no thermal restriction described above. However, since the portions that are not exposed to ultraviolet light are not cured, a sufficient adhesive strength cannot be obtained only by ultraviolet irradiation. In particular, since the interface between the slider and the flexure, which requires the most adhesive strength, is not normally irradiated with ultraviolet light, the adhesive strength is insufficient. Further, when the bonding area is small, it is difficult to obtain a satisfactory bonding strength only with the UV adhesive.

(3) A method using both a thermosetting adhesive and a UV adhesive This is a method described in JP-A-6-60346, and a thermosetting adhesive is used in places where ultraviolet irradiation is difficult. The slider and the flexure are fixed under the respective curing conditions of the two adhesives by simultaneously using the UV adhesive in the portions where the ultraviolet irradiation is possible.

However, the use of two types of adhesives has a problem in terms of improving the productivity, and the UV adhesive basically has a property of inhibiting the curing of the thermosetting adhesive by the epoxy resin. Therefore, both adhesives must be used properly so that they do not come into contact with each other, and the processing becomes complicated in that sense.

In the temporary bonding step, the thermosetting adhesive is locally heated and cured by the heat generated by the resistance pattern while the magnetic head slider and the slider supporting member are mounted on the bonding jig. The temporarily bonded magnetic head slider and slider support member are removed from the bonding jig, placed in an oven, and further heated and cured. According to this method, it is not necessary to put the bonding jig into the oven and the time required for the temporary bonding is short, so that it is not necessary to prepare a large number of jigs, and the positional accuracy among the jigs greatly varies. In addition, the jig can be completely prevented from being thermally changed with time. In addition, there is no need to consider a non-irradiated portion as in the case of using a UV adhesive, and a sufficient adhesive strength can be obtained because a thermosetting adhesive is used. Furthermore, since only one kind of adhesive is used, it is not necessary to use different adhesives, and the workability is greatly improved.

A DC power supply 29a with a regulator and a switch 29 are provided between the conductive pin 24 and the conductive stopper 26.

The DC power supply 29a is, for example, a PAD 35-5L manufactured by Kikusui Electronics Co., Ltd., and is a power supply with a regulator that performs constant voltage control when the load resistance is high and switches to constant current control as the load resistance decreases. Note that most of the temporary bonding jig 20 except the conductive pins 24 and the conductive stoppers 26 is made of an electrically insulating material. Also, the magnetic head slider 21
Is a conductor made of conductive AlTiC (Al-TiC), except for the magnetic head element forming portion 21a protected by the insulating protective film. Further, since the suspension 23 is also made of metal, it is naturally a conductor.

Therefore, when the switch 29b is closed, a current flows from the DC power supply 29a through the loop of the conductive stopper 26, the magnetic head slider 21, the conductive thermosetting adhesive 22, the suspension 23 and the conductive pin 24, As a result, the conductive thermosetting adhesive 22 self-heats and hardens due to Joule heat. Strictly speaking, not only self-heating due to the Joule heat of the resin itself, but also a current flowing through the magnetic head slider 21 and the suspension 23, these also slightly generate heat and contribute to the resin curing.

The magnetic head slider 21 is placed at a predetermined position of 0, a conductive thermosetting adhesive 22 is applied to the bonding surface of the magnetic head slider 21, and then the suspension 23 is positioned and mounted thereon. Next, the switch 29b is closed and a continuous direct current is passed in a direction penetrating the plane of the conductive thermosetting adhesive 22, and the adhesive 22 itself is locally heated to gel the epoxy resin. The magnetic head slider 21 and the suspension 23 are temporarily bonded. The DC current supply time varies depending on the content of the conductive filler, but is about 40 to 50 seconds, and gelation is achieved without exceeding 60 seconds.

Next, the mixing ratio (weight mixing ratio) of the conductive filler to the epoxy resin will be described. This weight mixing ratio is most preferably the conductive filler “about 0.7” with respect to the epoxy resin “1” with respect to the stress and adhesive strength of the adhesive after curing. It has been experimentally confirmed that, when the conductive filler is in the range of “0.3 to 0.9”, the stress of the adhesive is small and the adhesive strength is large and excellent.

Therefore,

As described above, according to the present reference example, the current is directly passed through the conductive epoxy resin and the resin is self-heated and cured by the Joule heat, so that the resin can be cured very efficiently. Therefore, temporary bonding can be performed in a time shorter than 60 seconds. There is no need to put the temporary bonding jig into the oven, and since the temporary bonding time is short, there is no need to prepare a large number of jigs. Thermal aging can be completely prevented. In addition, since the conductive epoxy resin itself generates heat, a rise in temperature other than this portion can be suppressed to a minimum. In addition, there is no need to consider a non-irradiated portion as in the case of using a UV adhesive, and a sufficient adhesive strength can be obtained because a thermosetting epoxy resin is used. In addition, since only one kind of adhesive is used, it is not necessary to use the adhesive properly and the workability is greatly improved. Further, the conductive thermosetting adhesive 2

In the temporary bonding step, the thermosetting adhesive is locally heated and cured by the heat of the resistance pattern while the magnetic head slider and the slider supporting member are mounted on the bonding jig. If the temporarily bonded magnetic head slider and slider support member are removed from the bonding jig and put into an oven, and then heated and cured, there is no need to put the bonding jig into the oven and the temporary bonding is performed. Since the time required for the jigs is short, it is not necessary to prepare a large number of jigs, the variation in positional accuracy between the jigs can be greatly reduced, and thermal jigs can be completely prevented from changing over time. In addition, there is no need to consider a non-irradiated portion as in the case of using a UV adhesive, and a sufficient adhesive strength can be obtained because a thermosetting adhesive is used. Furthermore, since only one kind of adhesive is used, it is not necessary to use different adhesives, and the workability is greatly improved.
