PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a rotating connector capable of simplifying its configuration.SOLUTION: A rotating connector 1 comprises a stator 8, and a rotator 9 relatively rotating to the stator 8. The rotating connector 1 also comprises a conduction mechanism 22 for constructing an electric path between the stator 8 and the rotator 9. The conduction mechanism 22 secures electric connection between the stator 8 and the rotator 9 by electrically connecting a first rotating part 23 (first gear part 29) rotatably provided in the stator 8 and a second rotating part 24 (second gear part 30) rotatably provided in the rotator 9 so as to rotate with the first rotating part 23.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2 【課題】構成を簡素化することができる回転コネクタを提供する。【解決手段】回転コネクタ１は、ステータ８と、このステータ８に対して相対回動するロテータ９とを備える。回転コネクタ１は、ステータ８及びロテータ９の間の電気経路を構築する導通機構２２を備える。導通機構２２は、ステータ８に回動可能に設けられた第１回動部２３（第１ギヤ部２９）と、第１回動部２３とともに回動するようにロテータ９に回動可能に設けられた第２回動部２４（第２ギヤ部３０）とを、電気的に接続することにより、ステータ８及びロテータ９の間の電気接続を確保する。【選択図】図２
