Perpendicular magnetic recording write head with plate having coil regions and heat-sink regions

A perpendicular magnetic recording write head for magnetizing regions of a magnetic recording layer comprising:

• a slider having a trailing surface and an air-bearing surface (ABS) substantially orthogonal to the trailing surface for facing the recording layer;
• a magnetic yoke comprising a lower layer on the trailing surface, an upper layer, a first yoke stud generally orthogonal to the trailing surface and connected to the upper layer, a second yoke stud generally orthogonal to the trailing surface and connecting the lower and upper layers and located farther from the ABS than the first stud, a main pole connected to the first and second studs and having a tip substantially at the ABS;
• an electrically conductive plate between the yoke upper and lower layers and having a first aperture in which the first stud is located and a second aperture in which the second stud is located, the plate having coil regions near said apertures and heat-sink regions spaced from said coil regions;
• and
• first and second electrically conductive leads connected to the plate for conduction of electrical current to said coil regions around their associated apertures to generate magnetic flux in said studs and connected main pole.
