Abstract
The contactor rotary connector is provided with a first connector having a first terminal supported by a first mold; and a second connector having a second terminal supported by a second mold. The first connector is provided with a first space block. The second connector is provided with a second space block; a fixed component capable of holding the first mold and the second mold in a coupled state by being rotatably housed in the first space block and the second space block; a contactor capable of contacting the first terminal and the second terminal; and a rotating shaft that integrally couples the contactor and the fixed component, is rotatably supported by one of the first mold and the second mold, and is capable of connecting the first terminal and the second terminal by rotating the contactor.
Claims8
A contactor rotary connector comprising:
- a first connector having a first terminal supported by a first mold;
- and
- a second connector having a second terminal supported by a second mold,
- wherein the first connector comprises a first space block provided in the first mold, and
- the second connector comprises:
- a second space block provided in the second mold;
- a fixed component capable of holding the first mold and the second mold in a coupled state by being rotatably housed in the first space block and the second space block in a state in which the second mold is coupled to the first mold;
- a contactor capable of contacting the first terminal and the second terminal;
- and
- a rotating shaft that integrally couples the contactor and the fixed component, is rotatably supported by one of the first mold and the second mold, and is capable of connecting the first terminal and the second terminal by rotating the contactor,
- wherein the first terminal is a first contact pin, and
- the second terminal is a second contact pin,
- wherein the contactor comprises:
- a base that is an insulator and has a groove portion which fits the first contact pin and the second contact pin;
- and
- a conductor provided in the groove portion and electrically conducting the first contact pin and the second contact pin.
