ABSTRACT:
An electrical connection device between a handle and a steering column for a vehicle includes a rotor, a housing for rotatably supporting the rotor and a flexible flat cable accommodated in an annular space defined by the rotor and the housing. The rotor has a tip having a convex curved-face, which is arranged at an axial end of the rotor. A part of the housing, which comes into contact with the tip of the rotor, is shaped to have a concave curved-face. With the arrangement, when the rotating direction of the rotor is reversed, the tip of the rotor would be guided by the concave curved-face of the housing, so that a plane-contact between the side of the rotor and the side of the housing can be avoided thereby to reduce the contact-noise.
