Abstract
Abstract A thin film type magnetic transducer head comprises a magnetic substrate, and a thin film magnetic core formed on the substrate through an effective magnetic gap at one end of the substrate to be faced to a magnetic recording medium, the magnetic substrate and the thin film magnetic core forming a magnetic circuit to reproduce signals on the magnetic medium, wherein a length between a center of the magnetic gap and an edge of the magnetic core and wave length satisfy definite relations, thereby the S/N ratio and the output are improved in the digital magnetic recording.
