Rotary connector

Abstract

The present invention provides a rotary connector capable of maintaining a stable energized state. The rotary connector (1) comprises: an annular conductive ring (5); a conductive shaft (4) inserted into the conductive ring (5) and configured to rotate relative to the conductive ring (5); a current collector (6) disposed radially between the conductive ring (5) and the conductive shaft (4); a retaining pin (7) disposed between adjacent current collectors (6) in the circumferential direction; and a retaining plate (21) disposed on at least one axial side of the retaining pin (7) and provided with an annular guide groove (23), wherein the retaining pin (7) moves along the guide groove (23), and the retaining plate (21) has a retaining plate recess (24, 25) formed on the bottom surface (23a) of the guide groove (23).
