Abstract: A thin film magnetic head capable of recording and reproducing data accurately by providing a sufficient gap between adjoining terminals while providing each terminal with a required area. Magnetic elements are each connected to a respective terminal by leads. The terminals connected to the same magnetic element are deviated from each other in the widthwise direction of a slider. Gold terminals are respectively provided on the terminals and arranged at spaced locations along the width of the slider. The terminals connected to the same magnetic element have their corner portions facing each other removed to form parallel slants.
