ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector providing a plurality of electrical contacts and which allows for 360.degree. rotation, while providing interruption free electrical continuity, is disclosed. A first set of electrical contacts is movably connected to a second set of electrical contacts through the employment of movably engaging terminal and conductive pads. The two pads are permitted to rotate relative to one another. Hence, the two connectors are permitted to rotate relative to one another. The electrical connector may be provided with a universal joint assembly. The universal joint assembly would permit the first and second connectors to be angularly displaced relative to one another and about a respective arbitrary axis. Preferably, the axes extend normal to one another.
