Original Abstract Submitted

According to one embodiment, a head suspension assembly includes a support plate, a wiring member on the support plate, and a magnetic head mounted on the wiring member. The magnetic head includes a slider, a head element, connection pads, and a laser oscillation element on the slider. The wiring member includes a plurality of first connection terminals each having a bonding surface bonded to a connection pad of the slider and a second connection terminal including a bonding surface bonded to a connection pad of the laser oscillation element and a non-bonding surface opposite to the bonding surface. The wiring member includes a cover layer covering at least a part of the non-bonding surface of the second connection terminal.
