Abstract
A thin-film magnetic head comprises a magnetic yoke, having a first and a second flux conductor (1, 2) and a magneto-resistance element (4) remote from a head face (7). A first edge portion (4a) of the magneto-resistance element (4) is located closer to the head face (7) than a second edge portion (4b). The first flux condutor (1) extends from the head face (7) to close to the first edge portion (4a) and the second flux conductor (2) extends from the head face at least to the second edge portion (4b). Furthermore, the magnetic head includes a further magneto-resistance element (5) which forms part of the magnetic yoke and is located between the first and the second flux conductors (1, 2) at the head face (7).
