Abstract

Magneto-resistive head comprising a magneto-resistive film, and a soft magnetic film disposed at one side of said magneto-resistive film, which soft magnetic film is magnetized by electric current flowing through the magneto-resistive film, to which a bias magnetic field is applied by the magnetization of the soft magnetic film, whereby they are so structured that 0.7.times.B.sub.SMR .times.T.sub.MR <B.sub.SSF .times.T.sub.SF is satisfied, where T.sub.MR and B.sub.SMR represent the thickness and the saturated magnetic flux density, respectively, of the magneto-resistive film and T.sub.SF and B.sub.SSF represent the thickness and the saturated magnetic flux density, respectively, of the soft magnetic film.
