A magnetic head (100) is provided with a yoke (102) and a gap structure (150) coupled to a substrate (101) that is positioned above a magnetic medium (152). The gap structure (150) includes one or more lips (154A, 154B), a first (156A) and a second (156B) ferromagnetic pole, and a magnetoresistive element (162). The magnetoresistive element (162) is removed from the air-bearing surface of the magnetic head (100). For the embodiment with two lips, the two lips define a head gap (164). Each ferromagnetic pole (156A) is connected to one lip (154A). The two poles (156A, 156B) are separated by a distance greater than the length of the gap (166), and each pole has a thickness that is greater than the thickness of each lip. The MRE (162) is substantially coupled magnetically, but not electrically to the two poles at a location where the two poles are separated by a distance greater than the length of the gap (166). <IMAGE> |
