Abstract:
A thin film magnetic head which comprises:a slider and a thin film magnetic transducing element, wherein said slider is provided with an insulating film directly formed on a surface of an electrically conductive substrate, a thickness of said insulating film being in the range of 0.5 .mu.m-3 .mu.m, and said thin film magnetic transducing element is formed on said insulating film and has a thin film magnetic circuit including a magnetic film and a coil film, wherein said insulating film is formed between said electrically conductive substrate and said magnetic film and allows an equipotential to be formed therebetween because of its thickness, and wherein said coil film is electrically insulated by an organic insulating resinous film having an insulation resistance sufficient to electrically insulate said coil film in view of the thickness of said insulating film.
