Abstract: A rotary connector assembly has a rotor with a receptacle for an associated electrical connector, stator contacts, first contacts arranged in the receptacle that make an electrical connection to contacts of the associated electrical connector, a housing in which the rotor is rotatably arranged, and rotor contacts arranged on the rotor and electrically connected to the first contacts that make an electrical connection to the stator contacts. The rotor contacts include wound wire on which the stator contacts abut laterary. The rotor contacts are arranged mutually spaced apart radially on a section of the outer circumference of the rotor. Leads to the rotor contacts have a portion arranged running in an axial direction in radial recesses of the rotor.
