ABSTRACT:
A rotary electrical connector for a telephone or the like comprises a spindle assembly and a housing mounted in rotating relation to each other. A first male or female connector element is fixed to the spindle assembly, and a second male or female connector element rotates with the housing. Electrical contact elements extend from the first connector element and engage rings disposed in peripheral grooves of a spindle body. The rings are electrically connected to the second connector element by conducting elements extending through channels or grooves in the spindle body or in holders carried by the spindle body. Another embodiment of spindle assembly has flat planar conducting elements embedded therein. Methods for producing various embodiments are disclosed.
