Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a magnetic head comprising the steps of:(a) mounting a first magnetic head unit for recording to and reproducing from a first flexible rotating recording medium; and (b) mounting a second magnetic head unit for recording to and reproducing from a second flexible rotating recording medium having a coercive force lower than a coercive force of the first flexible rotating recording medium, the step (b) of mounting the second magnetic head unit further comprising the steps of: positioning the second magnetic head unit between a slider body and slider side panel that together form a slider so that a gap of 1 &mgr;m or less is formed between the second magnetic head unit and the slider body and a gap of 1 &mgr;m or less is formed between the second magnetic head unit and the slider side panel; and introducing into each of the gaps an adhesive material containing both filler comprising particles having a diameter exceeding 1 &mgr;m and filler comprising particles having a diameter of 1 &mgr;m or less, using the gaps as a filter such that only the filler comprising particles having a diameter of 1 &mgr;m or less together with the adhesive material fill the gaps.
