An automobile steering roll connector integrated with a steering angle sensor is provided to make good use of a space when mounting components by installing the steering angle sensor in an inner space formed between a case and an upper cover. An automobile steering roll connector integrated with a steering angle sensor comprises a steering gear, two slave gears(162,163), angle detecting units(164,165), calculation/control unit, an output unit, and a terminal unit. The steering gear is installed in a case(130) and meshed with a rotating body. The slave gears are engaged with the steering gear in the case so that when the steering gear rotates the slave gears turn together. The angle detecting unit is installed in adjacent to each slave gear inside the case to detect rotation angle of each slave gear. The calculation/control unit calculates steering angle and steering angle speed based on output signals from the angle detecting unit. The output unit is installed to output steering angle and steering angle speed calculated by the calculation/control unit. The terminal unit is installed outside the case to transmit the calculated steering angle and steering angle speed to the outside.
