Abstract
A magnetic head includes a slider including rail portions for sliding on a magnetic medium. One rail portion includes inner side walls which define a rectangular hole, and a head core body having magnetic gaps is sealed in the hole with a sealing agent. Projections are formed on the inner side walls to enable proper core positioning in the hole. Multiple projections can be formed on the respective side walls. The projections can have different heights and also be spaced from the head core body in the hole. The projections can include first projections having a height H.sub.1 and second projections having a height H.sub.2 that satisfy the equation 1.2.times.H.sub.1 .ltoreq.H.sub.2 .ltoreq.5.0 H.sub.1. Also, the relative heights of the first and second projections can be related by the inequality, H.sub.2 -H.sub.1 >C-w, in which C is the spacing between projections on opposed inner side walls, and w is the width of the head core body in a direction between the opposed inner side walls.
