Abstract
An electrical connection device between a handle and a steering column for a vehicle includes a rotor, a housing for rotatably supporting the rotor and a flexible flat cable accommodated in an annular space defined by the rotor and the housing. The rotor is provided on an outer periphery thereof with a resinous C-ring of which frictional coefficient is smaller than that of the rotor. Consequently, when the rotor rotates with respect to the housing, the sliding resistance of the rotor rotating can be reduced by the C-ring, so that the sliding-noise can be reduced.
