Abstract:
A rotary connector comprising:a pair of housings which are concentrically disposed and are linked together to be rotatable relative to each other; a flexible cable which is contained in a space between the housings such that the flexible cable is able to be wound and loosened therein, and which is formed in a band-like shape by sandwiching a plurality of conductive wires between two insulating films; and a lead block which is connected to an end of the flexible cable and has a plurality of conductive joint bars supported by an insulating supporter; wherein, in a part of the flexible cable which is connected to the lead block, one of the two insulating films is removed leaving end portions of the conductive wires exposed at the remaining insulating film, through holes being formed in the remaining insulating film at positions between the exposed conductive wires, and the exposed conductive wires being electrically connected to the joint bars at positions close to the through holes.
