Abstract
A damping material (19) is provided on one of the two side faces (7, 8), of a magnetic head having two plate shaped ferrite core limbs (3, 4). The material consists of a synthetic resin filled with less than 30% by volume of filler having a density of more than 10.times.10.sup.3 kg/m.sup.3. The filler is at least 74% by weight of the damping material and the density of the damping material is larger than 4.times.10.sup.3 kg/m.sup.3 and its modulus of elasticity ranges between 10.sup.7 and 10.sup.9 Pa.
Claims5
A magnetic head comprising two combined plate-shaped ferrite core limbs constituting on a side a tape contact face for a record carrier in which a gap bounded by the two core limbs terminates, a damping material being at least partly provided on at least one of the two side faces constituted by said two core limbs and extending transversely to the tape contact face, characterized in that the damping material is a synthetic resin filled with less than 30% by volume of filler, which filler has a density of more than 10.times.10.sup.3 kg/m.sup.3 and is at least 74% by weight of the damping material and in that the density of the damping material is larger than 4.times.10.sup.3 kg/m.sup.3 and its modulus of elasticity ranges between 10.sup.7 and 10.sup.9 Pa.
