Abstract

An interleaved bi-directional magnetic tape head for contact recording can have a poletip enhanced by providing a thin film of a soft magnetic material deposited onto a magnetic ferrite substrate. The second pole piece is a thin film of the soft magnetic material. A closure block of a non-magnetic ceramic encloses the layers together with leveling insulation layers and a deposited activating conductor turns. The stripe poletip deposited onto the magnetic ferrite extends for a distance just short of the first conductor turn and provides a balancing of the saturation moment of the pole pieces and provides for better recording capability, especially when operating in a trailing magnetic ferrite mode.
