A floating magnetic head having a magnetic head core incorporated in a non-magnetic slider of a cubic configuration. The core is disposed perpendicular to the plane of a magnetic disk. The core is bonded by glass to the slider at one side of the core facing the magnetic disk, and also is bonded by a resin or bonding material to the slider at the other side of the core remote from the magnetic disk. A resin or an adhesive tape is applied to the back surface of the slider, supported by a support member, at a predetermined ratio of the resin or the adhesive tape to the area of the back surface. It is effective to bond the support member to the back surface of the slider by adhesives applied to that portion of the back surface greater than the point of bonding between the support member and the back surface.

Floating magnetic head having low noise level

A magnetic head assembly has, at least, a recording/reproducing magnetic head made of an Mn-Zn ferrite, a first reinforcer made of a non-magnetic ceramic material and bonded by a glass to the recording/reproducing magnetic head in parallel with the gap formed in the recording/reproducing magnetic head, erasing magnetic heads attached to both sides of the first reinforcer so as to limit the recording width of the recording/reproducing magnetic head, and second reinforcers made of a non-magnetic ceramic material and bonded in parallel to gaps in the erasing magnetic heads, the second reinforcers being positioned at both sides of said recording/reproducing magnetic head. The area Af defined by the thermal expansion coefficient curve of the Mn-Zn ferrite in the temperature range between the normal room temperature and the softening point of the bonding glass and the area Ac defined by the thermal expansion coefficient curve of the first reinforcer in the same temperature range satisfy the following condition:
