<p>The object is to provide a rotary connector in which the flat cable is not damaged when the rotary connector is correctly assembled, and the flat cable can be cut off easily when the user operates the steering wheel to which the rotary connector is incorrectly assembled, thus an accidental firing of the air bag is prevented. The rotary connector has a flat cable 4 with one end connected to a terminal strap 14 and the other end connected to a supporting member 11. The flat cable 4 is in the shape of a spiral and is accommodated in a space G defined by a stator housing 1 and a rotor housing 2 rotatably assembled to the stator housing 1. The terminal strap 14 is located between an inner wall 7c of the stator housing 1 and a guide 9 disposed near the inner wall 7c. The guide 9 has a small-width strap 9d with a curved surface in contact with the flat cable 4. The flat cable 4 is routed through the gap between the inner wall 7c of the stator housing 1 and the small-width strap 9d into a space G in the stator housing 1. <IMAGE></p> |
