Abstract
Abstract A magnetic head fabricated through the thin film technique and used with a magnetic drum or disk of an electronic computer. The magnetic head comprises a first magnetic material forming a part of a magnetic flux path; a second magnetic material forming another part of the magnetic flux path; at least two conductors superposed between the first and second magnetic materials, with insulating films inserted between the magnetic materials and the conductors and between the conductors; two lead conductors, one being connected with one end of the lowermost conductor and the other being connected with that end of the uppermost conductor which is opposite to the one end of the lowermost conductor; and coil forming conductors connected with the remaining ends of the conductors disposed between the first and second magnetic materials, wherein the coil forming conductors are insulated from each other but have the end portions where they are electrically connected in a predetermined manner, and wherein the coil forming conductors are substantially superposed on each other to form parts of turns of a coil.
