Abstract
A rotary connector includes a stator, a rotor, main flexible substrates, and a wiring member. The main flexible substrates are disposed on the wiring member in a state where the main flexible substrates are stacked one on another at an end portion of each main flexible substrate. An end portion of a first main flexible substrate on a side near the wiring member has a shape that does not overlap one or more of second connection terminals to each of which a first connection terminal of second main flexible substrate on a side distant from the wiring member is connected.

A rotary connector comprising:
- a stator;
- a rotor provided to be rotatable relative to the stator;
- a plurality of main flexible substrates accommodated in an annular space between the stator and the rotor, each main flexible substrate of the plurality of main flexible substrates including a first connection terminal provided at an end portion of the main flexible substrate;
- and
- a wiring member including a plurality of second connection terminals to each of which the first connection terminal of a respective one of the plurality of main flexible substrates is connected,
- wherein the plurality of main flexible substrates are disposed on the wiring member in a state where the plurality of main flexible substrates are stacked one on another at the end portion of each main flexible substrate,
- wherein the plurality of main flexible substrates include
- a first main flexible substrate on a side near the wiring member, and
- a second main flexible substrate on a side distant from the wiring member, and
- wherein the end portion of the first main flexible substrate has a shape that does not overlap, in a plan view, one or more of the second connection terminals to each of which the first connection terminal of the second main flexible substrate is connected.
