A signal output part of a first sensor configured to output a signal corresponding to an operation state of a mechanism for locking rotation of a steering shaft is mounted on a first circuit board. A signal output part of a second sensor configured to output a signal corresponding to an operation state of a mechanism for detecting a rotation angle of the steering shaft is mounted on a second circuit board. A connector electrically connects the first circuit board and the second circuit board while allowing relative displacement therebetween.

Sensor unit

A rotary structural body includes a rotation body that rotates in cooperation with a rotation shaft. The rotation body includes an engaging portion engaged with an engaged portion arranged on one of the rotation shaft and a transmission member that transmits rotation of the rotation shaft to the rotation body. The rotary structural body further includes a detector that detects a rotation angle of the rotation shaft in accordance with rotation of the rotation body and a support arranged on the engaged portion to extend across a circumferential gap between the engaged portion and the engaging portion.
