Abstract
An angle θ1 made between a supporting surface S of a slider and an imaginary plane C in which a first border line and a second border line of a tapered surface lie, and an angle θ2 made between the supporting surface S of the slider and an imaginary plane D in which a first border line and a second border line of a tapered surface lie, respectively fall within a range of not less than 5 degrees but not more than 14 degrees.
Claims7
A magnetic head comprising a slider including a medium-facing surface oriented toward a recording medium, a supporting surface serving as a support, a trailing end face and a leading end face, and an element, arranged on the trailing end face of the slider, for magnetically recording and/or magnetically reproducing data,
- wherein at least one of the trailing edge and the leading edge of the medium-facing surface has a tapered surface or a curved surface having a first border line bordering the medium-facing surface and a second border line bordering one of the trailing end face and the leading end face, and wherein an imaginary plane in which the first border line and the second border line lie makes an angle of not less than 5 degrees to not more than 14 degrees with respect to the supporting surface.
