second pole tip 214 so that a portion of the insulation layer 226 remains thereon in fig1 an insulation layer 227 may be deposited and the insulation layers 226 and 227 are etched to expose the stitch region 234 of the second pole tip in fig1 the second pole piece yoke 216 is magnetically connected to the second pole tip at the stitch region 234 and is extended over the insulation layer 226 above the write coil 220 an overcoat layer 242 may be subsequently formed it should be noted that the insulation layer 226 protects the pole tip region 232 when a seed layer for the yoke 216 is removed by etching and studs are formed for terminals for the read and write head portions of the head fig1 a is an abs illustration of the magnetic head shown in fig1 fig1 16 and 17 illustrate a second embodiment of the present head 300 as shown in fig1 and its method of making the write head 300 is similar to the write head in fig1 and 14a and shows the aforementioned second pedestal 302 of the first pole piece and the back gap pedestal 304 of the second pole piece it can be seen that these two pedestals are magnetically connected at the back gap and that the yoke 216 is magnetically connected to the pedestal 304 a first difference in the.
