Abstract
In a thermal head used in a printer, a rod-shaped mounting member carries heating elements thereon. The mounting member is formed of a metal material, and the heating elements are arranged over the peripheral surface of the mounting member with an insulating material interposed. Excess heat accumulated in the heating elements is quickly transmitted to the mounting member and diffused.
