Abstract
A brushless rotary connector comprising first and second housings that are rotatable relative to each other and respectively house first and second flat flexible printed circuits having conductive contacts disposed adjacent each other that are rotatable relative to each other. Electrical cables are coupled to the respective conductive contacts. The conductive contacts rotate relative to each other while maintaining contact with each other as the housings rotate, thus permitting electrical signals to be coupled through the connector.
