<p>A contactless connector (10) that secures communication continuity is provided. The contactless connector comprises a rotation-side light element (13) disposed on a rotating body (1) that rotates about a rotational axis (4) and a fixed-side light element (23) disposed on a fixed body (2) in a position facing the rotation-side light element, and which sends and receives data contactlessly between the rotation-side light element and the fixed-side light element. The rotating body is formed in a cylindrical shape with the rotational axis serving as the center axis of the rotating body; the rotation-side light element (13) is on the cylindrical face of the rotating body and is disposed to emit light in the circumferential direction in which the rotating body rotates; and the fixed-side light element (23) is disposed on the fixed body so as to be able to receive the light that is emitted from the rotation-side light element.</p> |
