ABSTRACT:
A clock spring connector having a high reliability of the connection and excellent workability of the assembly, said clock spring connector being capable of reducing noise. A flexible cable is wound on the outer cylindrical unit of a first housing and the inner cylindrical unit of a second housing so that the directions of the windings are opposite to each other, and a spacer disposed between the outer and inner cylindrical units rotates following the U-shaped turned-back portion of the flexible cable. An elastic tongue piece is disposed along the portion extending from the inner cylindrical unit, of the flexible cable and formed to be curved so that the tongue piece is located between the inner cylindrical unit and the spacer when no load is applied thereto.
