[0062] [Method for producing resin composition] The resin composition of this embodiment can be manufactured by uniformly mixing the above components in a mixer or blender such as a tumbler mixer or Henschel mixer to a predetermined content, and then kneading while heating in a kneader, roll mixer, disper mixer, adi-homogenizer mixer, or planetary mixer. The temperature during kneading must be within a temperature range in which no curing reaction occurs, and although it depends on the composition of the resin composition, it is preferable to melt-knead at around 70 to 150°C. After kneading, the mixture may be cooled and solidified, and the kneaded material may be processed into a powder, granules, or tablet form.

The temperature at which the resin composition melts can be considered to be the same as the mold temperature.

Examples of electronic components include semiconductor elements, small sensors, wiring boards, integrated circuits, large integrated circuits, transistors, thyristors, diodes, solid-state image sensors, ceramic capacitors, chip resistors, and microcomputers.

The resin composition of this embodiment can be applied in the process of interposing this resin composition. By using the resin composition of this embodiment as a sealing material, it becomes possible to enlarge the stator core and produce multiple cores simultaneously.
[0068] Furthermore, since the resin composition of this embodiment has improved thermal conductivity, it can be used to fix magnets in the holes of the rotor core.

[0073] The method for manufacturing the rotor is not particularly limited, but preferably includes a step of inserting a fixing material containing a cured product made of the resin composition into the holes of the rotor core by transfer molding the resin composition of this embodiment.
