(1) As a measurement of exposure to interest rate risk, the amount of mismatch or imbalance between the quantity of an entity's assets and the quantity of its liabilities that reprice in a defined or selected time period. In a single time period, the net mismatch or imbalance may be called the interval gap. Over a series of consecutive time periods or buckets, the total net imbalance or mismatch may be called the cumulative gap. See rate-sensitive assets and rate-sensitive liabilities. (2) One of the four components of interest rate risk. The component of interest rate risk arising from the mismatch defined above. Also called mismatch or repricing risk.(3) As a measurement of liquidity risk, the amount of mismatch between the quantities of cash provided from decreases in liabilities and increases in assets and the quantities of cash used by increases in assets and decreases in liabilities in a defined or selected time period.

The gap is the opening in the "C" shaped core of a magnetic read or write head. Magnetic lines of flux bridging the gap induce voltage in a read head or produce flux changes when using a write head. The gap length across the "C" is usually in the range of 12.7-51 um (0.0005-0.002"). The gap width determines the encoded track width on the magnetic stripe. Typically ISO gap width is between 2.54 mm and 3.18 mm (0.100-0.125") although some special purpose heads feature gap widths of 6.3 mm (0.25") or more. head- A magnetic head is an electronic component for reading or encoding magnetic information. It is composed of a core, winding, optional case and output terminals or leads. Read heads may be used for any coercivity stripe. Write heads must be designed to handle the anticipated coercivity; write currents are typically 5-100 mA peak-to-peak for low coercivity and 100-2500 mA peak-to-peak for high coercivity. Write current also depends upon the number of turns in the winding (inductance), core material etc.
