Abstract
Magnetic head having a head face (33) and a thin-film structure with a magnetoresistive element (23) and a flux-guiding element (117a,117b) of a material having a relatively high magnetic permeability. A peripheral area (123a) of the magnetoresistive element extends opposite the flux-guiding element, while an electrically insulating, magnetically permeable intermediate layer (21,121) having a relative magnetic permeability of between 1.1 and 25 is present between the peripheral area and the flux-guiding element.
