A single-reel magnetic tape cartridge has a cartridge casing and a single reel around which a magnetic tape is wound and which is contained in the cartridge casing for rotation, in which the magnetic tape is fixed at the leading edge thereof to a leader pin employed for extracting the magnetic tape from the cartridge and the flanges at the upper and lower ends of the leader pin are engaged by the lateral drawing force of a latch spring removably held in the tape cartridge casing. Even for cases in which there is a deviation in the insertion position in which leader pin is inserted by the record and playback apparatus, etc. causing the entry path of the leader pin into the cartridge casing to be off track, etc., it is still possible for the leader pin to be inserted into the cartridge casing. The incline angle, in relation to the insertion direction of the leader pin, at the point at which the flanges of the leader pin are brought into abutment with the guide surface of the latch spring is set within the range of 30°±5°.
A magnetic tape cartridge comprising a cartridge casing and a single reel around which a magnetic tape is wound and which is contained in the cartridge casing for rotation, said magnetic tape being fixed at the lead edge thereof to a leader pin employed for extracting the magnetic tape, both ends of said leader pin being removably held within said cartridge casing by the lateral drawing force applied thereto by a latch spring provided in the cartridge casing, said latch spring being laterally deflected by said leader pin when said leader pin is inserted into the cartridge casing and being provided with a guide surface that facilitates insertion of the leader pin into the cartridge casing and a holding portion that holds the leader pin in place within the cartridge casing after the leader pin has passed over said guiding surface, wherein
