Abstract
A rotary connector device includes a first case, a second case, an electrical cable, and a stopper structure. The stopper structure includes a movable member, a rotation restricting portion, and a guide portion. The movable member is movable relative to the second case between a first radial position and a second radial position in a radial direction. The rotation restricting portion is provided at the first case and contactable with the movable member in a circumferential direction to restrict a relative rotation of the first case and the second case in a state where the movable member is at the second radial position. The guide portion is provided at the first case and contactable with the movable member to guide the movable member toward the first radial position.
