Abstract
After a lead block, where a required number of pin terminals are fitted to and assembled with an insulating support member, is connected to an end portion of a flat cable, the lead block is assembled with a lower connector holder of a rotary connector. The lower connector holder includes lower protruding portions of a lower cover and an outer cylindrical portion that are snap-fitted to each other. The lower protruding portion includes a receiving recess and the lower protruding portion includes a holding wall portion. Leading end portions of pin terminals are inserted into insertion holes of the holding wall portion, so that the lead block is assembled. While stopper portions of the pin terminals are interposed between the holding wall portion and the outer wall of the support member, the support member is positioned and held in the receiving recess.
