Abstract
A rotary connector device includes a stator, a rotator, a first connector, and a second connector. The stator is configured to be attached to a vehicle body. The rotator is provided rotatably about a rotation axis with respect to the stator. The first connector is provided at the stator. The second connector is provided at the rotator. The first connector includes a first connector housing space in which a vehicle-body-side connector is disposed in a state where the vehicle-body-side connector is electrically connected to the first connector. When viewed from an axial direction defined along the rotation axis in a state where the stator is attached to the vehicle body, the first connector housing space is disposed not to overlap a vertical plane including the rotation axis.
