Abstract
A floating magnetic head comprising a substantially rectangular slider made of a non-magnetic substance and having leading and trailing ends. The slider is provided with a groove which gradually increases in depth along one side of the slider extending toward the trailing end and has an opening at the trailing end. The slider has rails mounted on a surface of the slider that is opposite to a magnetic recording medium to produce a floating force. A magnetic head core is bonded to one side of the slider. The core has a read/write gap, first and second legs, an inclined face opposite to the bonding surface, and a track width on the surface opposite to the magnetic recording medium. The second leg is located at the trailing end of the slider without protruding from the trailing end.
