Abstract
Abstract A compressed powder core is made of a compressed body of a magnetic powder each particle of which has a surface covered with an insulating layer. The insulating layer is formed of an insulating material selected from the group consisting of an inorganic compound powder having an electronegativity of not less than 12.5, an inorganic compound powder having an electronegativity of less than 8.5, a metal alkoxide and a decomposition product of a metal alkoxide.
