Patent number: 6404591Abstract: The magnetic head 11 is structured such that a high-density recording head core 13 and a normal recording head core 14 are assembled integrally into the same slider 12. In the same side surface of the slider 12, there are formed a first cut-out portion 15 into which the high-density recording head core 13 can be inserted, and a second cut-out portion 16 into which the normal recording head core 14 can be inserted. The two cut-out portions 15 and 16 are formed in such a manner that they respectively extend in the rotational direction (A direction) of a magnetic disc. The two kinds of head cores 13 and 14 having different recording densities are respectively inserted into and the core hold portions 18 and 19 of the cut-out portions 15 and 16 opened up in the same side surface of the slider 12, and are then fixed thereto with adhesives 24 and 25.Type: GrantFiled: May 4, 2001Date of Patent: June 11, 2002Assignee: Mitsumi Electric Co., Ltd.Inventors: Hiroshi Sanpei, Yoichi Maki
