A rotatable connector includes a first rotating member, a second rotating member rotatable relative to the first rotating member, at least one conductive connecting member sandwiched between the first rotating member and the second rotating member, and a shaft. The first rotating member includes a first rotating body and a first flexible printed circuit board fixed to the first rotating body. The first rotating body includes at least one conductive portion electrically connected to the first flexible printed circuit board. The second rotating member includes a second rotating body and a second flexible printed circuit board fixed to the second rotating body. The second rotating body includes at least one conductive protrusion. The at least one conductive connecting member electrically connects the least one conductive protrusion to the at least one conductive portion. The shaft extends through the first rotating body, the second rotating body and the second flexible printed circuit board.

1. Technical Field
The present disclosure relates to a rotatable connector.
2. Description of Related Art
FIG. 1 is a schematic isometric view of a rotatable connector, according to an exemplary embodiment.
FIG. 2 is an exploded view of the rotatable connector of FIG. 1.
FIG. 3 is a partial, cut-way view of the rotatable connector of FIG. 1.
Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, a rotatable connector 100, according to an exemplary embodiment, includes a first rotating member 10, a second rotating member 20 rotatable relative to the first rotating member 10, six conductive connecting members 30, and a shaft 40.
The first rotating member 10 includes a first flexible printed circuit board (FPCB) 12 and a first rotating body 14.
Six wires (not shown) are laid on the first FPCB 12. One end of the first FPCB 12 is fixed to the first rotating body 14, the other end of the first FPCB 12 is attached to a first rotating part (not shown) of a rotating mechanism (not shown).
