Abstract
A rotary connector device includes a stator and a rotator which rotates with respect to the stator concentrically with a steering; an accommodating space having a ring shape in a plan view, which is formed inside the stator and the rotator, and which accommodates a cable for electrically connecting the rotator and the stator in a wound state; and a retainer which is located on a bottom surface of the accommodating space so as to be able to guide the cable to rotate concentrically circle with the steering. The rotator includes an inner peripheral tube portion which forms an inner peripheral surface of the accommodating space. A rotator side abutting portion which abuts an upper surface inner peripheral portion of the retainer in a slidable manner is formed on a lower portion of the inner peripheral tube portion.
