Electrical connector arrangement for motor vehicle steering assembly

摘要

An electrical connector arrangement for a motor vehicle steering assembly that includes a steering shaft having an insulator sleeve mounted thereon. A pair of conductor rings are supported by the insulator sleeve and are adapted to be electrically connected to an occupant restraint cushion and to rotate with the steering shaft. Each of the conductor rings is formed with an annular track in the periphery thereof and both conductor rings cooperate with a pair of contact members fixed to the steering column member so as to provide current to the conductor rings upon operation of a sensor for actuating an occupant restraint cushion.
