摘要:
A magnetic head for a video tape recorder including a mounting base and two transducer elements comprised of a pair of core tips mounted to one end of the mounting base with a small non-transducing gap defined between the core tips. Each of the core tips has a tape sliding surface on which a magnetic tape is slidingly traveled. A radius of curvature R (mm) of the tape sliding surface and a distance W (mm) between the tape sliding surfaces are so set as to satisfy the conditions of 19.5-20W .ltoreq.R.ltoreq.21.5-20W and 0.15.ltoreq.W.ltoreq.0.45. Accordingly, a quantity of sinking of the magnetic tape at the gap between both the core tips is limited to thereby reduce a noise in a special reproducing operation such as a reverse video search operation.
