FeaCubNbcSidBe 

where a, b, c, d, and e each indicates an atomic percentage, 71.0 at %≤a≤76.0 at %, 0.5 at %≤b≤1.5 at %, 2.0 at %≤c≤4.0 at %, 11.0 at %≤d≤16.0 at %, and 8.0 at %≤e≤13.0 at %,
wherein the soft magnetic material is contained in an amount of 80 wt % or more based on a total mass of the magnetic powder,
an average particle size is 2 μm or more and 3.3 μm or less,
at least a surface layer of the magnetic powder is nanocrystallized, and
a specific resistance of the magnetic powder is 10 MΩ·cm or more and 500 GΩ·cm or less,
wherein the specific resistance is measured by filling an alumina cylinder with 1 g of the magnetic powder, placing brass electrodes at each end of the alumina cylinder, and while pressurizing the brass electrodes at each end of the alumina cylinder with a load of 20 kgf using a digital force gauge, an electrical resistance between the brass electrodes at each end of the alumina cylinder is measured using a digital multimeter and a distance between the brass electrodes at each end of the alumina cylinder is also measured, and
after measuring the electrical resistance between the brass electrodes and measuring the distance between the brass electrodes, the measured electrical resistance and the measured distance are input into the following formula (2) to determine the specific resistance:

specific resistance [MΩ·cm]=the measured electrical resistance [MΩ]×a cross-sectional area inside the alumina cylinder [cm2]/the distance between the brass electrodes during pressurization [cm]  (2).
