The present invention refers to a rotary connector including a structure for the connection of a flat cable to a conducting block. The conducting block includes a plurality of parallel attached conductors extending through a resin member. A pair of retaining arms perpendicularly extend from the resin member. A window is formed in the resin member, through which the attached portions of the conductors are exposed, and a pair of projections adjacent the window is provided. The flat cable includes parallel conductors which are disposed between insulating films. A connecting portion of the insulating film is provided at a front end of the flat cable, and alignment orifices are formed in the connecting portion. The conductor portions are exposed between the flat cable and the connecting portion, and notches are formed on the flexible cable sides adjacent the exposed conductor portions. When the flat cable is attached to the conducting block, the projections are inserted into the alignment orifices formed in the connecting portion, the exposed portions of the flat cable conductors are placed upon the window of the conducting block, and the notches formed in the flat cable are brought into alignment with the retaining arms. The retaining arms are subsequently bent over the notches to fixedly connect the flat cable to the conducting block. The flat cable conductors are then welded to the attachment conductors of the conducting block through the window. The conducting cables are also attached through apertures formed at one end of the conducting block , and are welded to the attachment conductors through a second set of windows.
