ABSTRACT:
A magnetic head comprises an MR element, and a substrate supporting the MR element from both sides at a center portion, and a magnetic tape is in contact and slide-contact with a slide-contact surface thereof. A curvature in a thickness direction of the slide-contact surface is set to be larger at a center portion than at both sides thereof. In this way, it is possible to protect the slide-contact surface of the magnetic head from eccentric wear and avoid deterioration of the magnetic head performance.
