Claim 0:
1. A superconducting wire connector comprising:
a plurality of superconducting wires;
a container; and
a sintered body containing MgB2, the sintered body being disposed inside the container,
wherein the superconducting wires are connected by the sintered body,
wherein at least one of the superconducting wires includes a superconducting core having a first outer surface,
wherein a stabilizing material is disposed on an inner periphery of the superconducting core, and a metal sheath covers an outer periphery of the superconducting core,
wherein the sintered body is in contact with the first outer surface of the superconducting core,
wherein at least one of the super conducting wires is disposed through the container,
wherein the metal sheath has an opening at an intermediate portion of the superconducting wire in a longitudinal direction so that the outer peripheral surface of the superconducting wire core is exposed, and
wherein the intermediate portion at which the superconducting wire core is exposed is inside the container, and an end surface of the superconducting wire is outside the container.
