Magnetic head with saturable element between the poles outside of the gap

摘要

A magnetic head has two poles separated by a gap and at least one saturable element. The saturable element joins the poles and is outside the gap and parallel to the gap. The head may be in the form of a matrix device having a number of poles mounted over a similar number of pads in the substrate. The saturable element may link two poles of the head by means of a pole of another magnetic head.
