     Abstract Tunnelling Magnetoresistive (TMR) heads in magnetic recording heads can be damaged by electric field and degraded by an external magnetic field. This work presents the effects of electric-magnetic field emission caused by a discharge current during free-air ball making a contact to an electrical pad of slider and suspension during a gold ball bonding process on TMR heads. A bonding current was acting as an Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) source being captured by a current probe. Discharge current was investigated by using CT-6. EMI effect was monitored using finite integral. The simulations show that the radiated magnetic field strength located at TMR heads is approximately 0.6 Oe. This level is inadequate to degrade the MR heads due to the exchange bias is over few hundreds Oe. The radiated electric field strength caused by the discharge current is 0.14 GV/m while the dielectric strength of MgO is approximately 0.95 GV/m; therefore, the radiated electric field is 14.74% of the breakdown of the oxide level while the radiated magnetic field is only 0.62% of the threshold level of MR heads at the ball bonding process. In conclusion, the radiated electric field plays a stronger role to TMR heads than the radiated magnetic field.
