Abstract
A rotary connector device for making a plurality of electrical connections includes a male component having a surface defined by outer sidewalls of alternating male conducting rings and separate male insulating rings. Each of the male conducting rings is connectable to a corresponding male component electrical line. A female component has a central bore configured to retain a series of alternating female conductor rings and separate female insulating rings. Each of the female conducting rings makes direct or indirect conductive contact with a corresponding male conducting ring when the mating arrangement is made. Each of the female conducting rings is connectable to a corresponding female component electrical line. The male conducting rings and the female conducting rings, or separate conducting components associated therewith, have contact surfaces that engage each other in a latching mechanism when the mating arrangement is made.
