Abstract:
A card-type magnetic recording device comprising;a disk housing space for housing a disk-shaped recording medium; a head arm carrying a magnetic recording/reproducing head and causing the magnetic recording/reproducing head to move between a recording/reproducing position to obtain access to the disk-shaped recording medium loaded in said disk housing space and a standby position at a distance from the disk-shaped recording medium; a frame plate which mounts said head arm and a disk drive device for driving the disk-shaped recording medium loaded in said disk housing space, on one surface thereof; and a circuit substrate, located on the other surface of said frame plate in overlap arrangement, having a plurality of elements arranged on the surface opposite to the surface facing said frame plate; wherein said frame plate has an opening or a concave part allowing the magnetic recording/reproducing head placed in said standby position and/or a part of the head arm to be housed therein, allowing the magnetic recording/reproducing head to move between the standby position and the recording/reproducing position without interference with said frame plate.
