Abstract
A rotary connector device includes a fixed body, a rotation body, and a connector. The rotation body is rotatable about a rotation axis with respect to the fixed body. The connector includes a cover, a conductor, and a holding member. The cover includes a first wall and a space therein. The first wall extends from the rotation body in an axial direction substantially parallel to the rotation axis. The holding member is attached to the cover in the space and holds the conductor. The holding member includes, in the first wall, an exposed portion exposed to an outside of the space. The cover and the holding member include a restriction structure to restrict foreign matter from entering the space through the exposed portion. The restriction structure includes a first protrusion that protrudes in a direction substantially orthogonal to the first wall and a first recess in which the first protrusion is fitted.
