<p>A magnetic multi-gap transducer having a single integrated core structure with a central common I-bar (22) and a pair of flanking pole pieces (21, 23). A first relatively low reluctance magnetic path is formed by the I-bar and a first one (21) of the flanking pole pieces to provide a recording gap (26) having a read function capability. A second relatively high reluctance magnetic path is formed by the central I-bar (22) and the other flanking pole piece (23) so as to define a second recording gap (27), the low reluctance for the second path being provided by a relatively large non-magnetic air gap between the I-bar and the second pole piece. The integrated core structure is embedded in a non-magnetic slider (10), and each flanking pole piece (21, 23) has an electromagnetic coil (31, 33) received thereon.</p> |
