Abstract:
A rotatable connector device includes a stationary member, a rotatable member rotatably attached thereto, and a flat cable housed in an annular space between the stationary and rotatable members. One end of the flat cable is connected to a stationary-side connector fixed to the stationary member, and another end of the flat cable is connected to a rotating-side connector fixed to the rotatable member. The flat cable includes a folded-back portion bent and folded back at a middle section in a longitudinal direction thereof. The flat cable includes a predetermined number of conductor/conductors each comprising a copper alloy and wound up or rewound with bending kept at the folded-back portion. Each conductor satisfies Y≥14.175X 2 −249.35X+1406.9 for a bending radius of 4 to 8 mm, where X denotes bending radius, and Y denotes 0.2% yield stress, and has an electrical conductivity of 50% IACS or greater.

Claim (Index 1):
A rotatable connector device comprising:\n a stationary member; a rotatable member rotatably attached to the stationary member; and a flat cable housed in an annular space between the stationary member and the rotatable member, one end of the flat cable being connected to a stationary-side connector that is fixed to the stationary member, another end of the flat cable being connected to a rotating-side connector that is fixed to the rotatable member, the flat cable being provided with a folded-back portion at a middle section in a longitudinal direction of the flat cable, the folded-back portion being bent and folded back, the flat cable including a predetermined number of one or more conductors each made of a copper alloy and is wound up or rewound with bending kept at the folded-back portion, the conductors each satisfying Y\u226514.175X 2 \u2212249.35X+1406.9 within a range of bending radius of 4 mm to 8 mm, where X denotes bending radius, and Y denotes 0.2% yield stress, the conductors each having an electrical conductivity of greater than or equal to 50% IACS.
