Abstract: A high magnetic head for floppy disk drives that can prevent crosstalk between magnetic cores. Two nonmagnetic material pieces are joined with two magnetic material pieces, respectively, and track grooves and a winding groove are formed on a surface of each of the two magnetic material pieces.

The core block is cut to a plurality of front core assemblies. The core assembly includes a magnetic circuit having a magnetic gap, and nonmagnetic spacer members which do not form a magnetic circuit, thereby preventing crosstalk between the magnetic cores constituting the composite type magnetic head.

Abstract: In the gate-controlled bi-directional semiconductor switching device, when a negative trigger signal is applied to a second electrode functioning as a gate electrode, a second auxiliary thyristor formed of the sixth, third, first and eighth conductive layers is turned on, causing an ON current to be supplied as a gate current to a main thyristor formed of the fifth, second, first and eighth conductive layers via the first wiring. When a positive trigger signal is applied to the second electrode, a first auxiliary thyristor formed of the seventh, fourth, first and eighth conductive layers is turned on, causing an ON current to be supplied as a gate current to the main thyristor via the second wiring. Since the second electrode is connected to the fourth and sixth conductive layers of the first and second auxiliary thyristors are formed separately from the third and seventh conductive layers, invalid current components in the first and second thyristors are reduced to a minimum.
