Rotary connector device having an electrical connector in a cantilever manner and manufacturing method of rotary connector device

A rotary connector device comprising:

• a stator including a first stator and a second stator attached to the first stator;
• a rotator provided rotatably about a first rotational axis with respect to the stators, the rotator forming, along with the stator, a cable housing space provided to surround the first rotational axis;
• an electrical cable provided in the cable housing space;
• an electrical connector electrically connected to the electrical cable;
• and
• a connector coupling portion configured to couple the electrical connector to the first stator,
• the electrical connector being positionable in a first position with respect to the first stator in a state where the electrical connector is coupled to the first stator,
• the electrical connector including a first surface and a second surface provided on a reverse side of the first surface,
• the second surface being positioned between the first rotational axis and the first surface in a state where the electrical connector is positioned in the first position;
• the connector coupling portion being configured to support the electrical connector in a cantilever manner with respect to the first stator such that the second surface becomes a free end in a state where the electrical connector is positioned in the first position and where the second stator is detached from the first stator, and
• the second stator being at least partially positioned between the first stator and the electrical connector in an axial direction defined along the first rotational axis in a state where the electrical connector is positioned in the first position and where the second stator is attached to the first stator.
