Abstract

In order to attain a good contact with a magnetic sheet, a magnetic head with a pair of magnetic gaps has an external configuration and a sliding surface which satisfy formulas of: EQU 0.2<W.sub.R /W.sub.T <0.8, EQU -0.2W.sub.T W.sub.C +0.9<W.sub.R W.sub.T <-0.17W.sub.T W.sub.C +1.2, and EQU 1.5<R.sub.W /R.sub.R <4.4, where W.sub.R and W.sub.T are lengths of the magnetic head in a rotational direction and in a track-width direction of the magnetic sheet, respectively, W.sub.C is a distance between the magnetic gaps and R.sub.W and R.sub.R are radii of curvatures of the sliding surface in the track-width direction and in the rotational direction, respectively.
