Abstract
A rotary connector comprising first and second printed wiring boards that rotate relative to each other and that are electrically interconnected using spring loaded pogo-stick type contacts. The spring-loaded contacts are used to transfer electrical signals or power to metallized rings or contacts formed on the first printed wiring board. The spring-loaded pogo-stick type contacts are very rugged and provide for a rotary connector having long life.
