  • Loop back clockspring connector having high current capacity
    Patent number: 6780032
    Abstract: A loop back type clockspring connector includes a first housing section and a second housing section that are rotatable with respect to each other. The first housing section and second housing section define an accommodating space. Within the accommodating space, the clockspring connector includes two or more flexible cables and two or more guiding mechanisms. The cables conduct current from one housing section to the other. The guiding mechanisms divide the accommodating space into inner and outer portions where the cable accumulates as the housing sections rotate relative to one another. The guiding mechanisms move radially inwardly and outwardly within the accommodating space as the cable accumulates with the inner and outer spaces, thereby reducing the potential for the flexible cables to bind up during operation of the connector.
