Magnetic head and method of fabricating same

摘要

A magnetic head core and a method of fabricating same, wherein a magnetic circuit is constituted by a pair of magnetic films having a V-shaped cross section which face each other at each protrudent section through the gap material. The cross-sectional portion of the V-shaped film is exposed to the surface facing the magnetic recording medium. The protrusions of the magnetic film pair have tip planes parallel to each other and substantially perpendicular to the moving direction of the magnetic recording medium. The tip plane has a width defined by the line of intersection between the plane and the surface facing the magnetic recording medium in correspondence to the recording track width. At least one of the magnetic films has a window for winding an excitation coil. The magnetic film is formed on the non-magnetic protection member having a V-shaped protrusion. The magnetic head has superior recording and reproducing characteristics in a wide frequency band with less rubbing noise, high wear-resistivity and high productivity, and operates without the pseudo gap effect. The magnetic head core is fabricated through the steps of forming a coil winding groove in the gap forming plane of a non-magnetic core block, forming a number of parallel grooves perpendicularly to the winding groove so that a number of V-shaped protrusions are produced, forming a magnetic film on the surface of the protrusions, forming a gap plane after the magnetic film has been coated with non-magnetic material, and splitting the block and then combining the two core blocks to complete a magnetic head core.
