ABSTRACT:
The connector comprises: a central shaft (7) at the periphery of which linear conductor elements are longitudinally disposed, at least in a zone of contact provided on the shaft; a group (22) of radially disposed resilient conductors having conductive ends bent substantially into conformity with a toroidal surface centred on and facing towards the shaft (7) at a certain level of the zone of contact; resilient toroidal couplings (27,28) centred on the shaft (7) and surrounding said ends; a clamp (22,29) for compressing said couplings radially so as to urge, at the time of said compression of the couplings, the conductive ends radially inwardly into pressure contact with the longitudinal conductor elements of the shaft. This connector forms part of a rotor carrying magnetic heads of apparatus (FIG. 2) for recording on and playing back magnetic tape.
