Claim 7:
8. A method of connecting superconducting wires by a sintered body containing MgB2, comprising:
exposing a superconducting core of at least one of the superconducting wires by removing a portion, positioned in the middle in a longitudinal direction of the at least one of the superconducting wires, of a metal sheath disposed around the superconducting core;
disposing the at least one of the superconducting wires through a container;
filling the container with a raw material of MgB2;
forming the sintered body being in contact with an outer surface of the superconducting core by sintering the raw material filled in the container;
disposing a stabilizing material on an inner periphery of the superconducting core; and
disposing an end surface of the superconducting wire outside the container.
