Abstract

A composite magnetic material comprises spherical soft magnetic metal powder incorporated in the composite magnetic material in a dispersed manner, a flame retardant incorporated in the composite magnetic material in a dispersed manner; and a binder configured to bind the soft magnetic metal powder and the flame retardant. The composite magnetic material is formed and processed into a sheet shape. The composite magnetic material has a volume occupancy of the soft magnetic metal powder of 45 vol % or more and 68 vol % or less.
