Rotary connector device

A rotary electrical connector device comprising:

• a rotator;
• a stator that is a member configured to hold the rotator rotatably around an axis line and form an annular space around the axis line between the rotator and the stator;
• a rotator side connector configured to enable electrical connections in the rotator with at least two cables of two respective external devices;
• a stator side connector configured to enable an electrical connection in the stator to an external device;
• and
• a flexible cable that is a flexible flat cable configured to be housed within the annular space and electrically connected to the rotator side connector and the stator side connector, wherein
• the rotator includes a rotator main body that is an annular member surrounding the axis line and a connector housing section that is a space opened to the annular space and the outside of the annular space and forms a connector housing space having an outer peripheral wall portion configured to house the rotator side connector, and
• the connector housing section is configured to allow the rotator side connector to be held, and includes a connector holding section protruding from the rotator main body to the outside of the annular space, and a cover member that is a member configured to at least partially cover the connector holding section and the connector housing section on a peripheral surface along a direction in which the connector holding section protrudes in such manner that the cover member covers a circumferential side of the electrical connections with the at least two cables.
