A thick film thermal head for making a stencil by thermally perforating a stencil material includes an electrical insulating substrate and a glaze layer superposed on a heat radiating plate in this order, a resistance heater formed on the glaze layer to continuously extend in a main scanning direction, a plurality of electrodes of at least two lines which extend in a direction intersecting the main scanning direction in contact with the resistance heater and are alternately arranged in the main scanning direction, and a protective layer which covers exposed part of the resistance heater and the electrodes. The resistance heater is not smaller than 1 mum and not larger than 10 mum in thickness, the space between each pair of adjacent electrodes in the main scanning direction is not smaller than 20% and not larger than 60% of the center distance between the adjacent electrodes, and the length in the sub-scanning direction of the resistance heater at the portion between each pair of adjacent electrodes is not smaller than 100% and not larger than 250% of the center distance between the adjacent electrodes.
