Abstract:
A laminated magnetic head comprising a pair of magnetic core halves each comprising metal magnetic thin films, said magnetic core halves are combined so that the metal magnetic thin films of one of the magnetic core halves abut against the metal magnetic thin films of the other magnetic core half;wherein a winding slot is provided in the abutting portions between the pair of the magnetic core halves, and the abutment of the core halves form a front gap and a back gap on opposite sides of the winding slot; the pair of the magnetic core halves are bonded together with first bonding glass adjacent to the back gap, which fills a reinforcing groove formed between the pair of the magnetic core halves on the back side opposite to the winding slot, the thermal expansion coefficient of the first bonding glass is &agr;1, and a second bonding glass adjacent to the front gap, which is located in the winding slot and has a thermal expansion coefficient of &agr;2 which is higher than the thermal expansion coefficient &agr;1 of the first bonding glass, the ratio (&agr;2/&agr;1) between the thermal expansion coefficients is over 1.0 and not more than 1.2; wherein each of the pair of the magnetic core halves comprises a lamination including a plurality of the metal magnetic thin films, insulating film layers provided between said plurality of metal magnetic thin films, and substrates, made of a nonmagnetic material forming the outer most layers of said lamination, the metal magnetic thin films extend to the sides of the substrates, the ratio between the thermal expansion coefficient &agr;1 of the first bonding glass and a substrate of the substrates is in the range of 106:123 to 112:115; and wherein the pair of the magnetic core halves are abutted to each other with a gap layer provided in the front gap there between so that the metal magnetic films of one of the magnetic core halves is arranged in line with the metal magnetic films of the other.
