An electrical connector device for use in an electrical system requiring electrical connection between rotatable members. The device comprises a first insulator having at least one first terminal affixed thereto, a first shaft member projecting from the first insulator, a second insulator rotatably fitted over the first shaft member and having at least one second terminal affixed thereto, a second shaft member secured to the second insulator, a flexible conductor in the form of a wire having either end connected to the first and second terminals, the conductor being wound around the first shaft member, and a restriction mechanism for limiting relative rotation between the first and second insulators within a predetermined angle. The restriction mechanism includes a first gear of a relatively large diameter fitted over the first shaft member for angular movement therewith and a second gear of a relatively small diameter held in meshing engagement with the first gear for angular movement about the second shaft member. The first and second insulators can easily and precisely be positioned with respect to each other.
