Rotatable connector e.g. for integration in motor vehicle steering column and as electric connector for airbag system - has flexible cable formed as strip element with single insulating layer and lead connected to one side of insulating layer
The connector has a first housing element (1) with an outer cylindrical region (6). The connector also has a second housing element (2) with an inner cylindrical region (13). The second housing element (2) is connected to the first (1) such that it is rotatable with an intermediate annular recess (14), relative to the first housing element (1). The connector also has a flexible cable (3) which is wound into the recess (14). The flexible cable (3) is formed by a tape type element. This has a single insulating layer (17). It also has a lead (22) attached to one side of the insulating layer (17). A movable element (4) with a guide roller may be arranged in the recess (14). The flexible cable (3) is preferably wound in opposite directions along the inner cylindrical region and the outer cylindrical region and is reversed along the guide roller.
